But, all of their tactics are designed to shut down the free exchange of communication.

It became very clear early on that they weren't even interested in it.

At that point, it should have been as clear as a bell that the next action should have been to classify them as hopeless causes.

Barney Frank did the right thing when he pointed out that is was as futile to talk to them as it would be for one to talk to a coffee table.

At some point, we should stop banging our heads against a wall in an effort to give them the benefit of the doubt.

That's a great way for us to end up victimized. They're not interested in doing the right thing.

They're only interested in winning at any cost.
