Guilty! On several accounts but not all threads are intended as dialog. The problem is when they "purport" to be dialog. I have made statements of faith---fair game---and then defended the same and that IS what I intended and said so at the time. That can be fun to do and I have also learned from the responses. And I will agree with you; it does get tedious at times and then I too, walk away from it, even though I started it!
