you could have said something like "no, there were quality ideas being exchanged, such as this post" and linked a post that proved your point. or you could have pointed out how someone might have benefitted from the debate. or other such things.
instead you imply i have a short attention span, which is a personal insult. now, i could have taken your bait and given a smarta** reply, and then you could have retorted, and away we go.
keep it to the issue!! my attention is not the issue. the issue here is the recent debate and whether or not anything was being accomplished. if you have evidence that proves you point one way or another, feel free to share.
personally i don't se how insulting people advances the conversation.
