Richard,

There's a queue of people who have "it" and who can discern "it" who all disagree with you though aren't there.

Your rationale has failed and all you have left is stubborn refusal.

Its a pity - because you have a lot that's useful to add generally.

You just seem to resent and reject things that challenge your precepts.

And you don't like listening.

Which explains a lot in this context.
