[Pretzel Logic]

It's your quickness to say another's viewpoint is clearly and objectively wrong and complete unwillingness to admit you are wrong that bothers me. No condescension or malice needed for that. Just arrogance. I don't see the point in attempting to debate someone who won't even address the gaps I point out in his logic.

I was attempting to address your feelings first -- THEN was planning to return to address the alleged "gaps in my logic." I felt that consideration for your feelings, and making peace with each other before attempting to continue the debate (lest things get too heated), was considerably more important than arguing immediately. My mistake.
