If you honestly aren't cognizant of "any form of serious debate or discussion" cheapdate May 2016 #1

Stop trying to hijack this thread. The OP asked why we don't have productive discussions. flamin lib Jun 2016 #63

I'm commenting on something YOU wrote. Why won't you answer the question? Marengo Jun 2016 #66

Because IT IS OFF TOPIC. Typical attempt to launch a red herring and ignore the topic at hand. flamin lib Jun 2016 #68

Unless your commentary was off topic, it's spot on and you know it. Why are you so evasive? Marengo Jun 2016 #79

I will answer one more time that the OP asked 'why isn't there productive discussion flamin lib Jun 2016 #110

Those are quotes from posts here on DU? Why haven't you provided links or cites... Marengo Jun 2016 #171

Because it would be like providing links to explain why the sky is blue. Everybody else in the flamin lib Jun 2016 #174

So, they are NOT actual quotes as you have claimed? Marengo Jun 2016 #175

Yes, they are very close paraphrases. flamin lib Jun 2016 #177

Bullshit, a paraphrase is NOT a quote... Marengo Jun 2016 #178
