Who? Why don't you refer to them by name.

You, Shape Shifter, and Taxwonk.

No you haven't. You haven't responded to most of TM's points. Go back and try again.

If you notice, on my posts I respond specifically to every point. I go out of my way to make my response right after every point, that is why my posts are always interrupted by quotes from the person I am addressing. Yet TM often just makes a generalized comment below my entire post incorrectly summarizing what I said. I don't have to summarize what he says (at least if it is from a recent post), because I address his quotes directly. Yet you are saying I am not responding to him but he is responding to me?

I don't think so. Perhaps we can get Ty or Burger to go through point and point and highlight the places you've gone off on tangents.

This is so ripe. TM keeps accusing me of being obsessively focused on one issue and then at the same time going off on tangents. Which is it? How can I be ridiculously focused on one issue and then taking the argument out on tangents?
This whole thing started because I objected to his statement that because Caucasians had all the power and black people did not that that gave black people a license to make racist comments about white people. That is the only thing I objected to, and as TM said, I was obsessively focused on that one issue. As far as I was concerned that was the only issue. Any discussion I was having was concerning that issue or directly related to that issue. Somehow, in his mind, he thought we were debating many other things.

I don't believe this. Show me another exchange where you let it drop without trying to drag it out through the whole day. ( Or, just look below. )

After we get into a disucssion I only respond to posts. In fact I always quote what the other person said (unless I am talking about something that was said a few posts back because then I am too lazy to go that far back). If I have nothing to quote, I have nothing to post. You look at all my prior exchanges you will see that they are structured that way. I always let people speak for themsevles and quote them As I said, you stop posting I will. If you are willing to let me have the last word the discussion stops. However, you guys are never willing to let me have the last word, so the posting continues.
