I think in a classroom, they want full participation and the head guy will call out for answers and grade people on it. Not like the real world.

Fair enough. I only answer what I choose to answer and nobody has a right to expect more than I want to give.

I believe someone referred to it as badgering just prior to taking his ball and going home.

I recall, one poster who told Rob R that "no one is obligated to answer to other posters" . It had to do with some internet legend pulled off the web. GlobalResearch, I believe. So, if supporting quotes is unnecessary, why are personal opinions of others and myself required? Especially, when a topic is related to objections of giving opinions of others.

That's fine, mike. Just do us all a favor and never demand answers from anyone on here. If you are unwilling to answer simple, direct questions, don't expect others to do more than you are willing to do yourself. Sound fair to you? And, also, your refusal to answer direct questions also inhibits discussion. Discussion is a give and take. You are unwilling to take part.

Mike, we are only responsible for our own actions. If you want to measure your behavior according to that of Dylan and Rush, so be it. I didn't know that what they did was held at a level of such high importance to you. Some people aren't afraid to tell the truth and answer direct questions. If you have to check with the actions of others before you know what to do, that is your deal.

Wel, kerry, as in the real world, some make concessions and some don't. I haven't seen any from a couple. One of which, contrives some offence and then demands an apology. Tap, Tap,Tap. if you know what I mean. And , I mean. NEVER CONCEDES. EVER. That has only been seen once before, 2000 years ago.
