And you just responded to the weaker interpretation of his argument (which is easier to criticize) when you called it "too emotional."
And you responded to the weaker interpretation of my argument. And so we are in a loop.

my orig response was an innocent, curious question while his was an impulsive rant/essay.

>You got too emotional when reading my response.
