No; I just don't find any particular reason to lay out my reasons ad nauseum, to refute any of your points nor to engage in constant back and forth about it.

I don't really consider message boards to necessitate debate on every topic or opinion.


Well, you've been doing a terrible job of not laying out your reasons or engaging in back and forth, but I'll agree that you haven't bothered to refute points. Which is funny, because the reason you apparently felt the need to post here was to say

In fact, I fail to see one response that can strike down the most critical aspect of Fionwe, darius, Heiko and my own disbelief: Graendal might have wanted Rand to come, and designed a series of lures.

No response addresses this, nor do they address the series of incidents that would need to happen to accomplish it.


So apparently you did at some point believe in the need to back up arguments and respond to them, but I guess you sacrificed that when your position became indefensible.
