Sorry...your position is so ridiculous that there is no room for discussion.

Funny, as I stopped having a position a while ago. I long moved to trying to figure out your position as it is in no way clear.

Some pretty simple questions in that last comment that would help clarify things. Is there a reason you are afraid to answer them?

Your positions are so absurd that there is no chance to have a reasonable conversation.

What kind of conversation would we have had if, hypothetically, they were not absurd?

  • Rocket - "[...]"
  • MapleEngineer - "Yup, that's how it is."
  • Rocket - "Yup, sure is."
  • MapleEngineer - "Yup. Guess that's all there is to say about that."
  • Rocket - "Yup."

Reasonable conversation is predicated on starting with the absurd. I give you the benefit of the doubt that you are trying, in good faith, to provide information to take us from the absurd to something sensible, but I am honestly not clear in what you are trying to say. My attempts to figure it out have been stonewalled.

MapleEngineer: I'm going to come over and fuck your wife.

Rocket: The fuck you are.

MapleEngineer: Let's negotiate and find some middle ground. Maybe she can just give me a blowjob.

When your opening position is absurd there is literally no room for discussion. You always take the most ridiculously extreme and absurd position. That leaves no room for reasonable discussion.
