New York Gay Marriage

You will have to make your question more explicit.

Was any of that sincere?

How about that one?I've asked you nicely, would you please highlight those parts of your posts that you believe to be true? Thank you.

None of that was highlighted.Was the omission intentional, or do you just not know how to do it? No: the bits where I'm required to know what you're thinking defeated me. After all, we know that we don't know that even after you've ostensibly told us.As to the remaining factual inaccuracies and false implications of your post, I can see that they are there, but what I can't know is if you know that they're false, which is what I'm trying to find out. Well the trouble is that you "essentially" claimed that when you claimed to be trolling. This has left you with what is called a "credibility gap". Even if you made some unassailably factual statement such as that today is Tuesday, there would still remain the suspicion that you had done so under the impression that it was Monday. As for repeating your posts, you could always say which bits are sincere when you originally post them. Of course, people might not believe you, so you're in a bit of a quandary. Maybe you shouldn't have started trolling in the first place. Lately my contribution has been to ask you to distinguish between cases where you are, or are not, being sincere, and I have been perfectly courteous in doing so.Unless and until you do that, it is not clear in what sense there can be a debate. People don't usually bring along their own straw men, and it is hard to know how to respond to someone who may be just pretending to be wrong rather than actually being wrong. They look exactly the same from where I'm sitting.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Do you honestly honestly not care?Ah well, since you're repeating the same sort of nonsense you came out with during the period when by your own admission you were trolling, the most likely explanation is that you still are.If you come up with something new, that might be an indication that you've stopped, or merely a sign that you've become bored of your own capacity to generate tedium.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

You too seem to be lacking in telepathic abilities. Dear me, did a self-confessed troll get a response? Surely that's the objective.And, as CS has demonstrated, it was not, in fact, his opinion. That was not in fact what he started off saying. If, in plain English, you mean "why disagree with someone who's wrong?" I think that that's a question that answers itself. What does it mean to "respect" his "opinion"? Do you mean people should have agreed with it? He doesn't agree with it himself.

I await nuggin's outraged condemnation of you with unbated breath.
