: remembers why he abandoned the thread in the first place, shudders and walks away shaking his head:

More slogans everybody! Aphorisms are going to change the world!

No, but their being stupid will make them less interesting.

And repeating that you're right doesn't make you righter. [Wink]

Both sides have their views. There's no point in expecting to change the world through an Internet debate. It's just to toss ideas around, all of which are as right and fine as the next.

I consider it quite fun. I don't know why.

But I do.

My aphorisms are better than your aphorisms anyway.

Translation: I have no rational argument, so I'll accuse my debate opponents of being trolls, and hope that I get the last word in.

Everything you've "addressed" has been thoroughly refuted, and you keep threatening to leave the thread, yet you keep coming back.
