I don't really see a good reason why I should spend 30 or so minutes replying to your comments that show little interest in continuing the discussion. If you showed the interest of wanting to have a real dialogue, sure, but it's not fair to me to waste my time when you only seem to show minimal interest in continuing it. If those on the other side of the argument can't put forth posts that try to meet the guidelines for good discussion[1][2], why should I keep wasting my time? I enjoy good debate (even if I disagree with the other side), but this is all just me pouring out my limited time for someone to just spend a minimal amount of time on a subject/reply they don't seem to really care about.
