@Shannon,  it must be quite disheartening when you put so much effort into a post and then have almost everyone read it except for the person for whom it was intended. I understand the need to defend oneself in an argument, but to flat out avoid hearing the other side is on a whole new level.

I liked your flat earth example. It's sad to see such behavior be so common out there.

I hope that you don't feel dissuaded to continue putting effort into your posts because I for one enjoy reading them

If the agenda is not getting to the truth, but getting attention or riling someone up or subtle advertising for a competitor, then the logical argument and truth need not be important.  In his case, he displays "argument" tactics that basically admit that he can't win using logic, so he had to change the rules by ignoring my arguments, denying my arguments and even refusing to read my posts.  

It's again much like the flat earthers: their real agenda isn't believing in the flat earth, it's getting attention and preserving their chosen beliefs that contradict the facts and riling people up and feeling special.  You can't argue with them because they don't want an argument for the sake of determining what the facts are - which is traditionally what argument is about.  They want something else that they simply use "I believe in the flat earth theory" to get, which happens when people try to explain, educate, argue, etc.

Such people are willfully ignorant and they are welcome to it.  My time is too valuable to waste on such minds.
