This response was both hypocritical and immature. I'm disappointed by reading this thread.

  Okay, so what was hypocritical and immature about it? Please see bji's other responses in this thread, and perhaps mine, to get a fuller picture. If you have a strong argument point then perhaps you can make me aware of hypocrisy and immaturity - I hope you do so if it's true so I can learn, albeit and alas, most people don't put that effort in and instead make a quick response of simply sharing a loose feeling without deeper critical analysis to understand the situation and feelings in depth; this is in part a problem with the lack of tone in text. I was pointing out their ignoring of the main point of my responses, and pointing out their put down; pointing out a lack of intellectual integrity isn't a put down, whereas saying simply because I haven't heard of a source "says more about me than the source" is nonsensical. Likewise, letting them know I'm done engaging with them is better IMHO than "ghosting" them. How is there integrity in a conversation if someone simply uses put downs and ignores the one main countering point to a proposed solution? Perhaps a gentler or kinder way to put it is they're lacking intellectual honesty - in order to try to prove a point, and backing that up/reenforcing that with a put down.
