That is not my reason for not wanting to pursue dialog. This is not personal, Pat, but you posed the question so I will try to convey my feelings about this forum. Have you ever tried to pursue dialog with a Jehovah's Witness, or a born again Christian? They are radical, pigheaded & unwavering. That's what it is like for people coming here who don't feel the same way you do. There is no winning an argument here. Your responses are always the same and nothing anyone says is going to change your mind.

You couldn't be more wrong here, Eileen.  It's not the strength of someone's convictions that determines if they can be talked to but rather their willingness to discuss matters thoroughly and rationally. Jehovah's Witnesses, born-again Christians and other people slavishly bound by faith are difficult to dialogue with because they will not fairly argue the issues by simply, unflinchingly examining the evidence in a fair and reasonable fashion. 

Premies are terrible offenders in this regard.  Mind you, that's hardly surprising when you see what an evasive and cowardly role model they have in Rawat, a man who hides from his past and only comments on it with the occasional self-serving lie or two.  Thus, for years now already, premies have made half-hearted forays into rational discussion about Rawat here only to retreat one way or another in the face of real evidence.  The forum's colourfully stained with the various skid marks they've left as they've driven off in a huff, making excuses as you have just now, for jumping out of the ring.
