Not trying to be a moderator, and I simply tend to be long-winded. I created this thread with the suspicion that I would single-handedly defend my point, not expecting Warbler or anyone to come to the rescue. If several different points are raised, I feel compelled to address them all. I understand this is basic, and I'm not trying to be a moderator. But in case you couldn't tell *sarcasm*, I feel very passionately about this issue and felt that you simply were belittling the time and emotion I put into writing this. If my arguments are simplistic, then shut them down, but please don't simply say that my points aren't worth your response, as that is both insulting to me as well as among the most common and ignorant of debate tactics, since the one using it never actually has to address the point.

See, I don't have a talent for being concise.
