Lol I provide a long post, that you skip, and somehow I’m the one confused by long posts?
you’re funny.
But no youre not geoingt to get me to call you names. I am a patient explainer so I will help

I’ll keep this shorter, with a summary at the end. you should be fine.

“you could have simply said that my question didn’t prove anything.”
That is EXACTLY what I said.

I don’t know why he didn’t answer as I said “I don’t know what he thinks”

I was responding that the fact that someone doesn’t answer doesnt mean you got them.

It could be They didn’t think it was a good or relevant point worthy of response (Like I think regarding your irrelevant comment there)
It could be they didn’t see it (Like syag claims she didnt in my post linked above)
It could be they lost interest, don’t want to get bogged down in a silly conversation (Like syag in this post)
Of course it could be that you “got them ” . Though even in that case, starting a new thread to gloat seems petty, You aren’t owed anything, ok you got him, you win mazel tov, it isnt that great a feat, do you plan to put it on your resume, “Was able to defeat a YWN poster”

so to keep things concise:
your premise (that silence = defeat) isn’t true , and if it was it isn’t worth getting worked up about.

with me?
