> I gave you a long answer to your question that took me quite a while to write, but you replied by asking me to be even more detailed.

You did, and while I appreciate the time you spent in responding the fact that it didnt actually answer my questions or spoke in vaguties made it hard to get anything useful out of it. So i was prompting you for the clarification needed to get something useful out of it as i wanted to actually understand your point or else we both would have wasted time.

> That seemed to me that you were being disingenuous to ask for more after that, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt

The length of your response really doesnt dictate the value though does it? Your response avoided specific examples, it stated your opinions without stating any real justification, and I cared about the justification for your opinion so i could evaluate if i should adopt your opinion. Just telling me your opinions in long-format really does little to help me have a meaningful interaction.

> If you really want, we can go back to the video and download the entire transcript to give you a sentence by sentence breakdown

I asked for a line or two quote of something he said that exemplified the accusations you made. Why would I need an entire word for word transcript when all I asked for was an example or two? I mean if you want to go to that level of detail by all means go for it, but you sound like your being pedantic at this point in bad faith. Not saying you a re, in fact ill give you the benefit of the doubt still its good faith, just saying this sounds like it a bit. No all you need to do is give me a one line example of something you think resembles "misinformation" on his part (the primary accusation you made).

> I don’t want to do it because I don’t think it is a good use of my time, especially since I feel that my first reply was more than sufficient, but I will do it if you really want me to.

I appreciate the offer, but I really just need a quote or two as an example of "misinformation" you feel he conveyed. Going over the whole transcript would, as you say, be a waste of time.

> I would rather just go about my business, but I don’t like people getting the wrong impression about me.

My impression is you made some wildly inaccurate accusations on someone and then refused to take any time to explain them by pointing to what he said that resembled your accusation. Thats all. Doesnt mean im going to be an asshole to you or dislike you, there are far more serious infractions one can make. It only leads to impression that you may have a tendency towards bias against people open to religious thinking to the point that it may distort your objectivity in recounting events (a pretty common thing).. there are worse infractions.

> How about we compromise. You go download the transcript and post it here and I will do the rest of the work.

I mean, i dont think its neccesary, but sure if you'd like, here is the transcript.
