How is it my downfall? Is anything that goes against your supposed beliefs a person's downfall?
Nope. It's not that your beliefs are different than mine
jroa. In fact, it's those sorts of differences that keep us both on our toes, and if everyone on the planet agreed absolutely with everyone else, it'd be a pretty boring place to live. It's that you seem to follow a fairly predictable set of traits whenever you're responding to people (not just me, but to all round earthers).
You take things very literally and respond accordingly. You're very pedantic, and often focus your response on one single word of someone's comment. Your responses all to often are rhetorical, and invariably end with a "?". You like to shift the burden of proof, or the onus of providing an answer, back onto the questioner instead of providing an answer of your own. You also seem to willfully ignore the differences between an abstract construct (or a thought experiment) and objective evidence. Or is this all just a game to you? Hmmm?
And I know it's virtually impossible to assess somebody else's nature and motivation from a gazillion 1's and 0's in cyberspace, but that's just how you strike me, particularly, and obviously, as I've never met you.
Having said all that, I'm sure that
were we to meet in the real world, we'd probably enjoy chewing the cud over a couple of beers. And I'd guess the conversation about our planet would certainly be a lengthy one LOL. So maybe a dozen or more beers?
