This was my point here.
I refuse to held accountable to onlookers who jump in when the going gets tough with their low-value opinions, on what they see. If these types wish to be acknowledged, then let them get involved in the debate and experience what there is to be experienced .. this is the only way they'll ever earn my respect.

Precisely, Craig.
It takes a lot out of you when you go on with constructing arguments and counterpoints to debates. All that thinking burns up the calories!!!!
Especially when everything is coming from first principles, straight from the top of your head and from your own learning/experience. Even trying to find references can get tiresome, especially if you're having to back things up on the fly, which is damn near impossible unless you've looked into the topic in question before you or others have posted it.
And if you're anything like me, you'll have journal articles and such scattered everywhere and in all sorts of files!!!!
