No, I'm not suggesting you leave.
But if you accept that your arguments are fallacious, then, well, what's the point of debating?
Again, as many, many other posters have said. Utilising arguments from ignorance and personal incredulity are categorically not good ways to either get a point across or successfully debate. It is futile talking to someone who doesn't understand this. Now a I'm not accusing you of not knowing what they are, but if you do you're simply ignoring it and continuing to use them as the staple part of your argument.
You said you like communicating with people. But it doesn't look like you're trying to communicate at all. It looks like you're saying what you believe is true and then refusing to back it up with evidence aside mere assertions.
Well I can stop debating if you like. I cannot please you, I already know that; so what do you suggest?
