Fake thanks are not appreciated, nor are suggestions that it is inhuman to want to have discussions based on sound reasoning instead of irrelevant nonsense. Raise the bar of discussion.

A discussion is based on the mutual agreement that we'll try to understand THE POINT on what the other person is trying to say.

When someone fails to do that and proceeds to pick apart minutia I consider that a waste of time - quite interesting that you consider that the highest standard of discussion and sound reasoning.
