I know verbalising your thoughts does sometimes seem a little much for
you but I asked a question for which I genuinely wanted to see your link

Why? 

Oh dear.  I didn't think the concept of discussion was so hard to
understand.

It goes like this Angus.  You make a point I want clarification so ask
for it. You reply with the clarification then I reply.

Simple really.

So we are at the point where you have made a point.  You linked rabbits
being hit by epidemic disease with the reason foxes should be left
alone.

No I didn't. Read what I responded to.

Rabbits are predated by several species and prone to disease epidemics.
Angus
Yes.  That's why foxes should be left alone.

</INSERT>

I know you won't be able to answer this and all I will get is evasion and abuse BUT here goes.

Please try to explain why foxes should be left alone because rabbits are predated and prone to disease.



I wanted clarification of your thinking so asked.

Work it out.

I'll take that as a recognition that you feel on shaky ground and unprepared to discuss your statement> Fine if you are really prepared to admit defeat.




You instead of following the normal system of answering have found all
the reasons under the sun for not replying.

I will not respond to stupid questions.

Why is asking you to clarify your position a stupid question? Other than the fact I ought to know better than expect you to respond to things you find difficult.



Is it really so difficult to understand.  I am trying to follow your
train of thought and have difficulty in seeing why you link foxes and
rabbits so asked you to expand on your thoughts.  You are reluctant.

Why?

Because that's how discussion is carried on and how people learn. If your aren't posting to the newsgroup to try to get people to understand and hopefully convert to your position what are you posting for?

Why is it that every time someone wants clarification so they can understand your position you go all defensive and refuse?
