the vast majority of people here do not take that attitude.

It's actually the exact opposite. I don't care what is the track

Ah, yes, like that discussion we once had where you totally didn't

run

`git log | grep James Denholm` at one point to demonstrate that I had
not yet made any contributions,instead of actually engaging in
discussion. Oh, wait.

You mean this thread[1] in which I sent 14 mails directly to you? Yeah,
I din't engage in that discussion at all!

Yeah, you didn't. Instead you danced, but I guess it's
really all said and done now so eh, have your point.

If their argument is good, their argument is good.

The problem, though, is that time and time again you've shown that

you

value your own arguments to the exclusion of all others. You can't
tell if someone else's argument is good, because it runs against
yours, and yours must be right because you hold it.

I can show you evidence of how that's a blatant lie. Just two days ago
I
changed my mind because somebody provided a good argument.

And I can show you evidence of you being
indiscourseable on the topic of your pet proposals,
but I won't, because you're indiscourseable on the
meta similarly.

But I'm not going to bother any more with you, you are just spreading
lies and tainting the discussion.

Well, maybe we'll see what other folks think.
