Debate requires both parties to engage in good faith. I am not engaging in debate, this is a rejection of con artists.
Correct. You are refusing to engage in good faith, dismissing discussion due to your anticommunist fervor.
No, I simply require that any source I engage with be better than strongly biased. Debating a fervent anyone is pointless. A fervent communist is no different from a fervent anyone else, and their passion can blind them. Once you do this enough times, you eventually find there is no point.
The simple fact that you immediately jumped to ad hominem without even recognizing that I am not debating the source, not arguing against it, merely stating it should be rejected wholesale, is indicative of this. This is my central thesis, if you would like to debate me on something.
