Your tooth fairy not mine

Is Kelly not conversing with you or Dive not comparable to you and Dive not conversing with Rusty?

Very Rusty made vile comments about my wife and children ~ something on a par with his attempts to mock me about my deceased relatives. There is no equivalent to this - in either direction - between KellyJay and me

Kelly seems to have the ability to converse about his perspectives with other posters here.

KellyJay's ability to do so is very poor. My observations and questions are often pointedly germane and different to those of others. His inability to deal with them is an integral part of the discussion and, for all intents and purposes, provides pertinent information about the quality of his ideas.

Kelly must equally have his reasons not to converse with you. The reason can not be to avoid discussing his perspectives, as he willingly discusses these with others (even those like myself who challenge them robustly).

And you stopped conversing with Rusty long before that.

You mean you troll him?

No. Everything I say is a contrubution to a public discussion. If he makes assertions in public and then blanks out pertinent questions and observations, then that's just how it is. There are other readers and other contributors.

You are mistaken. The comments about my wife and children were the last straw.

That's fine. But he makes his claims in a public arena and his inability - for whatever reason - to demonstrate that they withstand the scrutiny that my contributions apply is an integral part of the discourse.

Both Rajk and myself don't give him an easy ride in our exchanges. Curious that he has never stopped responding to us.

He certainly sidesteps the examination of his perspectives that I provide.

Not if he ignores everything you write.

Poor argument. He sidesteps everything you post.

Perhaps you need to go back and browse the conversations back in 2022 when KellyJay's perspectives buckled under the scrutiny I was putting his claims under. One thing that has always been lemon juice in his paper cuts - and it appeared to get him bent out of shape - is that my perspective has been, in part, shaped by having experiential knowledge of having Christian faith.

If someone's perspectives buckle under scrutiny it is worth considering that perhaps that scrutiny is bordering on relentless trolling.

He sidesteps everything you post.

And it's part of the airing of topics that goes on here in which both of us are involved.

Feel free to call it how you see it.
