Which is what makes it weird that you bother to build straw men to argue against in the first place. It's almost like you're deliberately trying to bait me into wasting more time.

>(And who is downvoting this deep into a dead thread? Some humanitarian?)

Your previous response was likely flag killed because it doesn't meet content standards, not downvoted because people don't like your view point.

Maybe I could work on defensive writing a little bit, but then maybe I shouldn't have to.

Want to set me straight on the straw man? Any closing thoughts about the welfare of hundreds of millions of Chinese? After all, that was the thrust of my last two comments, and you've studiously ignored it.

(I didn't notice the flag. Hi dang!)

Sorry, I'm not going to waste any more of my time explaining the concept of a straw man.

That's three times you've declined to say how you really feel about them.

I'm starting to think my 'straw man' was pretty accurate :). Cheers.

Sorry you're apparently not capable of having a discussion in good faith. Since it's just you here, there's no point.
