I was talking about the way that you closed the other thread There is nothing in the text of your thread to indicate that you were referring to anything other than the obvious posts immediately preceding it. As a result, I naturally concluded that you were rejecting the suggested debate rules. This is precisely why I later stated that you were avoiding the suggested debate rules. That is not an illogical or irrational sequence of thought nor is it intellectually dishonest. If you were actually accepting the suggested debate rules, it was not obvious from your responses and I again apologize. Then you obviously ignored everything else I said and my subsequent replies. There is no way that my statements could be misconstrued as an attempt to "Run like a jackrabbit" from a formal debate with you. The only way they could be is if you pulled one sentence out of context from the rest of the posts.

So in reading « Reply #3 on Feb 27, 2010, 5:35pm » in its entirety AND THEN reading « Reply #10 on Feb 27, 2010, 7:09pm » Someone would come to the conclusion that I rejected a debate with you? Interesting. In fact in reply #10 I clearly stated: Sorry if you don't read everything I post, but it was there. I have already addressed this. In your next sentence you apparently rejected the suggested rules yet again by stating that I was incapable of moderating and it was impossible to abide by debate rules on this forum with me as administrator... even though you apparently accepted debate rules in the previous sentence. ?? How can you accept that which is impossible to implement? Post 10 was confusing at the time and remains so now. Again, if this was somehow a clear acceptance and implementation of the suggested debate rules, I apologize, but it is nearly impossible for anyone else to decipher that meaning from the text. If your post was misinterpreted, it was a genuine misunderstanding and my conclusion was not illogical.

There is no way that my statements could be misconstrued as an attempt to "Run like a jackrabbit" I'll agree to disagree. I never suggested a formal debate. I suggested that abiding by standard debate rules would help prevent the very situation that now exists and it should be standard procedure for online discussions.
