I am interested in conversations and not in your creepy posturing. If you are a jerk, then you are a jerk. So be it. If you can interact without being a waffling poser who describes himself as "deep" over and over and over again while studiously sidestepping the content of posts, then good. I'm all for it.

FMF, that would simply be inaccurate to say that I sidestepped it.

But that is literally the last comment I am going to make on that series of posts.

Please don't bring it up again. It is tedious.

You are mistaken. You ran away from someone who is interested in a pragmatic take on rights in the real world that affect the real lives of real living and breathing people and who was not interested in your hodge-podge of pompous sneering, red herrings from U.S. retail politics, and gassy waffle about "virtue" which seemed to be the only thing you wanted to pontificate about and which you had nothing to say in terms of practical application.

In amongst all your "deep" drivel, you couldn't even bring yourself to back unequivocally things like freedom of speech or freedom of the press in a country like Indonesia, for whom basic rights are a matter of life or death, and who are unaffected by your arch-babbling about some lack of "virtue" regarding gay wedding cakes.

I didn't run away from the last thread. Don't say that's the case because it's simply not true.

Start a new thread about PRAGMATIC concepts of rights, by all means. I'll come and comment.

You absolutely did. I asked you direct questions regarding your vacuous babble about "virtue" and you just ignored them. You were not engaging the topic and you seemed to be 'virtue signalling' instead of talking about rights. You tried to condescend your way out of it - perhaps you were drunk again? - and eventually just slinked off.

You can go back and rectify your miserable contribution to that attempted conversation whenever you want.

Come on, tiger. Don’t be argumentative. You’ve been so fussy today! Is it because I forgot to cut the crusts off your PB&J sandwiches?

Lol, I predicted the twist I'm your question BEFORE you asked it, and I confronted the question afterwards.

And then you left.

And I'm super active in the debate forum.

What have I run away from?

What do you and your imaginary girlfriend want from me?

No not all. You are misjudging the situation. The 'olive branch' comes from you not being a pretentious jerk, rather than from you unilaterally declaring your silly performance on that thread "excellent".
