That's one way of looking at it.  :-)

I usually respond to whatever counterpoints someone makes.  That's what
debate is about: raising points and counterpoints, not ignoring hard
questions.

You do it differently.  You make a statement, I oppose it, you have no
counterpoint, and so you blow off my statement with some sarcastic
remark.  You then continue with the argument on a different tack, one
more congenial to your position.  That's picking and choosing, and tends
to remove any chance of real debate.

Just my observation.

Joe
