There was no harm done -- just slightly annoyed as there is never enough time and I do have other things which I much rather do than debate issues. It is not a matter of fact of mere controversy but the lack of genuine consideration of the other point of view. From my point of view, the winner is whoever is the loudest, winning has no merit. As this is a discretionary activity and use of time, it needs to be fruitful otherwise there are other activities that also demand my attention. In this case, I have merely chose not to spar -- like I said before, I am done with the conversation. I will accept whatever decision is made.
