" It isn't as though I can't express myself clearly, is it? "

Maybe you can. But you don't express yourself clearly. You contradict yourself and you seldom, if ever, state your position or beliefs clearly. Instead you express yourself by tearing down the positions of others, using what seems like the most convenient argument at the time. Moreover you nitpick over minutia is a way that makes you look like a liar.

I once said you said you were taunting me. You got indignant and said you never did. I went back to your original post. You said that you were "ribbing" me and "prodding" me. I don't know anyone on Earth who would argue that "ribbing and prodding" is a conversation were not the same thing as "taunting." Certainly in my larger point that you were behaving childishly was not diminished.

This is similar to your recent obsession with telling us you are "not certain" I am sure that in some pedantic way, in your head this means something. But looking at your posts from outside your head, there does not appear to be the slightest hint of doubt.
