"Chuz , the purpose of this summary is not to summarise your arguments as a whole - it is to summarise what your argument is up to this point . Why not post just a summary of your position so far , as you see it - I can do the same , then you can continue with your argument ? There 's no point in writing an argument , summarising it and then leaving the thread before I 've had a chance to respond to even your argument ( never mind your summary ) . If you are going to simply ignore any criticisms of your reasoning , then I struggle to see the point of you repeatedly requesting a one-on-one debate in the first place - you essentially regress your argument to the 'because I said so ' that you are ( presumably ) hoping to avoid , it 's just that there 's slightly more detail ."
"I see your point , Iangb but I 'm not about to be leaving before you 've had a chance to respond . I wo n't be `` leaving `` at all . You challenged me to produce an argument , so I 'm going to produce my argument . I will then summarize the argument , and you can respond to it and we can then discuss / debate those specifics that you have a problem with . Truthfully , this is how I should have first responded to your challenge . Doing it piece meal has only resulted in a less focused debate . -- Chuz"
