I vaguely identify with Taoism but not with Buddhism.

I urge you to avoid the proper Name and to discuss this subject at the very most in abstract, non-commital terms.
Lol. Don't be daft. I was busy.
It amazing the assumptions you two make in your arrogance. It's like your entire existence is a narrative you make up as you as you're going along (and by you two I mean you and ibrust, just in case anyone defensive is going to assume I am referring to them). It's Monday, the mods will find this thread on their own.
Pro tip: you cannot list religion or politics as a reason in a report. They are guidelines.

That's also offensive - Very Pro tip
I can't help what you find offensive. That's on you.

Being busy is anecdotal. You don't like anecotal anything, remember?
It amazing the way you project your arrogance onto us. You don't even have any excuse for arrogance, such as ability.

Ok, Sherlock. Now explain how an individual would explain why they were absent that is not anecdotal, short of there being a news story published about their whereabouts or something. I even mentioned I was going to be gone before it happened in a post you read on another thread, then I was gone for 5-6 hours...
You can make this leap, I believe in you.
Meanwhile, arguing that because someone does not accept anecdotal evidence for things like climate change, evolution, Covid, etc. they therefore find personal exposition 100% anathema is just bad logic. You know that, but you use it anyway...because you have nothing better.

You do take things literally, don't you. It wouldn't occur to you that when you make all your accusations of anecdotal evidence, you're doing something that you try to make capital out of in others. Ooh, you think you're so clever! 
You can try to wriggle but it's the same thing: a sign of strength when you do it but a sign of weakness in others.
All evidence is fundamentally anecdotal.
I didn't think you would accept my offer of a genuine debate, btw. With no trolling allowed. That wouldn't be an even playing field!

You made no such offer, so that's not a criticism but a backpedal, not that I would probably interact with you in that case anyway. You are supposing that I care about your thoughts on various subjects on merit. No, you have shown pretty much everything you've got over the past decade. I only care about your spreading of misinformation and your underlying malice and ego. The things that drive you to try and contort your narratives this way.

I clearly offered to debate with you on any subject.
I suggested that you might like to try to give an argument as to why the paranormal is impossible. This was two days ago, roughly.
Now, an intelligent person, in your place, would not have written "you made no such offer" since you can't edit my posts the way you can edit your own.
An intelligent person would have written "I did not notice you making such an offer". Since you don't know what intelligence is, then you are not likely to display it when required, so I'll make a different suggestion. It is "please don't call me a liar, because it makes you look ridiculous".
Prediction: you'll bring Mr Ridiculous in, to save the day against the O-person.
One last comment before I hit the hay, Dio. Last night I was commenting in about five threads and you seemed to be everywhere, making enemies and influencing people in your inimitable way. As a result of preferring not to talk too much with people with low IQs who are also very bad mannered, last night I unfollowed about four of those threads. Now I see you are commenting (trolling) only in the ones I didn't leave, such as this one. I think that no better admission that you are a troll could be made by your august self.

Your first two sentences already contradict themselves.
Your statement:
I didn't think you would accept my offer of a genuine debate.
That does not meet the definition of a genuine debate, or offer of same.
1. The paranormal is unfalsifiable past a certain point that would allow you to go on forever.
2. You knew full well that you were making an offer I had no interest in entertaining when you made it. That was purely for show.
P.S. I don't need to bring anybody in to deflate your bouncy castles. Posters are free to post where they will.

Only your ego could concoct such a bad self-narrative based purely on confirmation bias run amok.
That's one of the handful of threads I have posted in that you have not today.
Now, follow along here:
You cannot accuse people of only posting recently on only threads that you have read/glanced at recently. The logic is beyond bad for reasons I *really* hope would not need stating, but you never know with you in the mix.
Can I please ask what you are all debating about
re aspect of consciousness.
Dio's silence has in the past meant that he's reported a violation (religious discussion) and is waiting, now that he has set the ball in motion.
I urge you to avoid the proper Name and to discuss this subject at the very most in abstract, non-commital terms.
