You made the comment that you've never changed your mind due to an online 
discussion and that you don't see that happening.  You state your view as

I did, and I saw no need for you to decide what my intention was.  I 
stated what my intention was, and as I wrote to you up there, it's not my 
problem that you refuse to accept my explanation.

I don't really care what you think any more.  I certainly don't need your 
validation for my reasons for not continuing to debate a moral/legal 
position that is different from your stated position.

Since you are determined to continue painting me as intentionally 
derailing "your" thread, you can have "your" thread back.

Enjoy.
