[quote]Unsurprisingly you still avoided addressing any of the points I made -- instead trying to redeem yourself by swaying the focal point. It is patently clear that you have no good defense to my points -- if you did, you'd have swiftly presented them.[/quote] Again I have no need to try an counter your uninformed arguments. I stated in my original reply my reasoning and facts, I see no need to repeat myself, I addressed the new points you made apart from the part were you pretty much said Lions know no better, otherwise under your reasoning I guess they would choose to be vegetarians themselves. Strangely I felt no need to respond to that conjecture on your behalf. Good day.

That's fine. Your original reasoning was exposed rather conclusively, and I'm more than happy for the discussion to have ended on those terms.

[quote]That's fine. Your original reasoning was exposed rather conclusively, and I'm more than happy for the discussion to have ended on those terms.[/quote] You are very patronising, my reasoning has been exposed only as the truth, how ever you chose to justify your unnatural behaviour. I feel no need to carry on with this conversation, if I wish to be condescended to again I will be sure to hit you up.

I'm patronizing you because instead of doing the respectable thing and admitting your initial arguments were flawed, you weaseled out of the discussion with a childish, insincere, irrelevant remark. Unlike you, I have these interactions because I'm interested in logic, and truth. If I have to abandon my original positions to achieve these, I'm more than willing to do so. You seem more interested in having these discussions to reinforce your views and diminish others. When you realized this was not going to be as easy as you thought, you backed off. Sorry, but after I provided a long, civilized response with numerous sources (that weren't wikipedia) and rational arguments and you act in that manner, I think I am right to be somewhat irritated. If you want to put this little tirade behind us, my post is still there to be addressed respectfully. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing -- you are only harming yourself. I certainly won't lose any sleep.

Again I feel no need to continue to allow you to try and patronise or condescend to me. Good day to you, I think we will have to agree to disagree, especially on your claim that you applied logic to your argument.
