lemme put a few of these myself 😕

there's a distinction between quoting someone and between exhorting others to blindly agree to a certain viewpoint because of that quote or implying that they do so. IMO first can be educational and legitimate. second to my mind is the kind of knee-jerk conclusion that doesnt have much analytical merit. i cannot be sure how u were coming at it in this regard, so my comment was not specifically directed at you. in any event, i think i can suggest why i dont want to be a simple rubber-stamp going along with what others have quoted without it being taken personally, cant i?

You dont have to agree with anyone and surely can resort to your analysis and as you willing distance yourself from this league of extra-ordinary individuals happy in your own ivory tower.. that will help debaters at an early stage to realize the futility of debating your points..😆

QT wonderful post... 👏 the lack of understanding of the bold portion by many debaters still remains a mystery to me.. the classic rebuttal is "do we need western acknowledgement to be good" The basic thinking mechanism is absent and superceded by a reactionary impulse...

There is no reason to apologize after making a perfectly valid point, it might get atttributed to high-handed sarcasm..😆

So its waste of time quoting greats like Gandhi, Einstein,... in any debates...where primary interest of debaters is mindless meandering...😊

remains a mystery? well, u just might want to actually read through some of the last couple of pages in that case.😉😆

mindless meandering? haha, reminds me of that story of the pot, the kettle and mr. black. 😆

Just to read the refrain.. with no evident signs of learning being relentful to logically valid points...😆 the mindless meandering was meant to reflect a view point where the argument was not leading anywhere in a systematic manner but rather...playing the mole in the hole kinda never ending game...

my earlier post is in response to the above verdana underlined. I aleady said multiple times that einstein's view on gandhi was just to provide information as to certain other thinkers actually look at the power of civil disobedience and non violence. I also agreed that it was used as antispam.
I SAID 15 times in last 4 pages that it had no more substance. It still gets quoted and I get quoted and accused of throwing others' thoughts in debate. Guess what?? I have logically argued how it belonged in the thread. I did not quote it and say "LOOK, These are the words of God, so be convinced😆 " I am not trying to convince anyone at all as I am not convinced myself. If learning HISTORY for years and watching politics of independent India for last 50 years still allows for such 37 PAGE DEBATE to happen, who am I and how would my thoughts matter anyway?? TRUTHFULLY, I have NO THOUGHTS ON THIS. I am on BOTH THE SIDES / ON FENCE. So what?? None of you has convinced me in past 37 pages to take any side either! Nobody can and ever will.. I never had options to run out of any & it doesn't matter.
I have loved what each of you has said in this thread, until right now. I should thank you all for enlightening me about things that had slipped my history pages. That you did not convince me, doesn't mean you didn;t help me look at the issue in another light. I was hoping for Einstein to do the same for you.. I failed and am out of here. See you in other thread Rahul, Vineet and Qwerty. 😃
Please continue your original debate barring my unconvincing quoted blabber. 😆😆 I am outta this thread.

look if someone is saying that so-and-so-said this, so it is right, then i dont buy that line of reasoning. it's the kind of reasoning i think we might have grown out of when we left high school. fwiw, i thought that that suggestive line of reasoning was someone else's approach here, not yours, though you seem to think it was yours. i love those quotes myself, do find them educational and was not attributing anything to you. it's how it later got used that i am talking about.

on the debate, i feel we are doing ok, though i'd have thought that people more knowledgeable than myself on this topic would have come up with better

Okay then, I understand Rahul.. It is probably my 23rd pair of XX chormosomes that created a delusion that it is all about me 😆 😆
Apologies for mis-interpreting & the same to you to qwerty and vineet & to you Mr. Einstein.. 😉 😆

Can u apologize on every even numbered post?😆 which will leave us the odd post to bash u...

What exactly are we apologizing for here?

for quoting Einstein

Or

for not listening to Einstein?

I lost track in all the meandering there 😉

No for not casting aspersions on Einsteins ability to think...and his allegiance to honest appreciation for Gandhi...😉

beware u can still meander.. .in the wilderness of pointless opinions.😆
