Hey, where did you go? Was it something I said?

Did they or have they respond in another topic somewhere else? Plus you have to remember not everyone is the same. I am like you I would of said good point and ummm let me think on that awhile but not everyone is the same. If we were how boring life would be no? Also they may not be online or on vacation. So many things can be the reason. But then again there are those that will debate on something and when you do hit a nerve they will stop because yes you hit a nerve and they don't want to be wrong. There have been times I have gotten into a debate in other forums and it didn't matter what you said or proof you had the other person was not going to bend and here your side so I just stopped and left the discussion. I wouldn't give it a second thought

I sometimes like to argue for arguments sake. But there are times when I just don't have the energy to answer back, so I just say ok. And then there are times when I talk to people who really have no intention of hearing my view and keep on insisting theirs, so I just stay mum and pretend to listen.. Or in this type of discussion, I just fade away..

Cyn, I much prefer that when in a debate and your Opponent runs out of steam to just drop it. What happens so often to me, is that my opponent runs out of intelligence, and facts so a personal attack must ensure. Its at that point I am finished with it. So many times I run into people who try and give debate only based in biased personal opinion and are to lazy to actually do some leg work and back up thier words... Why would they come back? I know I am not exactly answering your question here only giving you my thoughts according to my experience.... I always come back,.... and back and back LMAO

Let me get this straight. We are engaged in a heated debate and you make a statement and you wait for my reply. Well, for me either I lost my connection and I didn't get to log in or I agreed with you and had nothing else to say.Those are the only two reasons I didn't respond.

I love a good debate! So yes I agree that either they have a counter, submit or stalemate. I have ended a lot of discussion with "ok, let's just agree to disagree" because frankly it's sometimes difficult to justify or quantify a feeling, belief or opinion. I've had one ongoing since yesterday and so far no answer. Probably because I ended up writing a mini-novel for a counter! It's really long. Maybe I'll hear something back tomorrow. Yes I hate it when someone doesn't answer me, especially when I'm on a roll! ROFL

"I did not come back because I said all that I have to and seems you don't understand." LOL. I have experienced debating and its not healthy because she's getting too personal on me. Hitting me with demeaning words just to get even. So, that gives me a lesson to stay away from topics that are debatable since people here in mylot have different culture and attitude. Some cannot accept the fact that they are wrong, instead they will throw filthy words and I don't want to throw back so I step out.

well, it happens to me with my friends as well... all i can say that those people are really very narrow-minded and can't accept other people's input or criticism... those people can't grow or improve themselves because they close themselves to other people constructive input... i will just ignore them... take care and have a nice day...

Hello I am here now so if you would like to discuss stuff then that would be good.

Well I didn't come back because you hurt my wittle feelings by not letting me "win". LOL, just kidding. I know what you mean, and I the only thing I could ever figure when this happened to me is they simple didn't want to hear my view, they value their own and nothing more. They say forget about considering what I said, they just want me to consider what they said. It's sad really because I do like thinking over what others say to me, I like opening my brain to new views, you know?

I happen to love debate, literally thrive on it.... But as a hard-core debater I have come to find that not everyone is up for the fight and may either lose interest or not have the spirit to continue....Or worse become offended.... Next time you need some good old fashion debate... call me
