From this post, I think you might be under some misapprehension about why I sometimes choose not to reply to posts addressed to me.
I participate in this forum because I enjoy it, and as such, I limit my posting to things that I find interesting. I do not find it interesting or enjoyable to respond to points that I've already adequately addressed in earlier posts. Even if your recent posts contained novel points (which they don't), I would still be within my rights to decline to reply.
Through our posts here, we've created a discussion that will hopefully be of interest to, and of some assistance to, future readers, by providing them with new things to think about. If they want to, those future readers are free to draw their own conclusions about who is "right". Personally, my goal is to engage in discussion, not to win a contest. At this point, I've already provided enough material for those future readers to understand the views that I have expressed. Therefore, such activities as
- analysing your specific links and writing detailed essays on them, and
- explaining how my post you've quoted is consistent with what I've said in this thread
are not necessary or helpful.
I generally choose to make posts that I think will help people (and making them consider new things is one way of helping them). I will continue to allocate my time on the threads where I think I can make posts that will maximise the amount of help that I can give.
