General Discussion

I have only so much time to devote to this forum, i.e. I have a life outside DU. Period. And I have no idea what you're referring to as a "juvenile, vulgar insult".

When I stated "The anticipated amount of time/energy expended vs. the return on such investment" my point was that given the two options, #1 to confront the other poster, vs. #2 to confront YOU, I'd much prefer the latter. I've read what #1 has posted, and in my view it would be easily dismissed IN A FORMAL DEBATE. However, such a debate would take time to prepare for, and even after doing so there's no assurance the other side would even show up. Thus my comment regarding "the anticipated amount of time/energy expended vs. the return on such investment", i.e. spending many hours with little return applies to THEM, not YOU.

So I opted to say that I would prefer a discussion with YOU, not because you're impervious to logic/reason, but BECAUSE I believe you would be amenable to such.

But whatever, a good evening to you as well.
