No, my response is essentially an appeal for you to get a life. Nobody is interested in "debating" this point any more.
First of all, I simply responded to another poster's comment about it. I am under no prohibition against responding to other people's posts.
Secondly, you are hardly in a position to speak for everyone. If
you don't want to debate it, then don't.
Finally, I can see why you would wish to avoid debating it and merely declare yourself to have an unchallengable position. You are wrong and cannot defend your opinion about this once you are expected to stop talking about the other poster, making references to what everyone knows, etc., and are forced to actually stick to the subject.
