Oh I think a participant deliberately baiting another with a pointless question would get the discussion stopped much sooner. You did, after all, admit that you went a bit over the top.

I know what the word means, but thank you for so succinctly defining it. If, all you meant was that my views are open to discussion/question, or under discussion, then why follow it with such an odd statement?
"(I really try to keep a decent tone, but sometimes .....)"
“but sometimes ....” the debate becomes heated – that’s all I meant.
"You did, after all, admit that you went a bit over the top". Yes, I did that on my own initiative, and THEN you followed up with "best to zip it". Stupid of me to try.
Your not exactly "Mother Teresa of debates" yourself.
Let me take this opportunity to say something about YOUR debating technique: You have stated that Juliette herself chose to become Eve, even though she was shot by Trouble, transformed into a weapon and only gradually got her personality back. You totally ignored that I pointed this out and continues to argue that it is the same person. You claimed that Adalind only stayed with Nick because she had no one else to turn to. But you refuse to answer WHY she then did not betray Nick and accept Renard’s offer to become "first lady of the city" (she had both children with her at the time). Can’t you see that this way of debating can be seen as provocative? I'm not the only one who has pointed this out...In fact, recently, four people have called your claims nonsense (I was one of them).
