Why do a few posters eschew debate to shift ground constantly, misinterpreting fragments of a post that depend on the context of the whole? It's extremely irritating. (I haven't suffered from any examples of this personally of late, but it's all over the place.)

2. intellectual laziness

Its easier to pick out one or two sentences that seem to support your argument than read a whole long paper/article and digest it. I had a person take a long scientific post of mine and search for a word-mind you-one word and claim because they found it mentioned ONCE in the article that my post UNDERMINED my argument.:banghead:
