Your own view on this is reflective of how you espouse it. You betray your own inadequacies, and don't realize you are. You say that length is inherently bad, and show how thoroughly that thought pervades your entire life and worldview.
Why would I stop doing something that is meritous, necessary for strong ideas and men, and something I enjoy doing?
Satan is called the great accuser. Do you know why? He accuses people to shame them, to burden them in their guilt so they don't come to God, believing they are incapable of being saved. He also accuses those of things he is guilty of. You are doing the exact same here.
It is you elevating yourself to godhood. If you are incapable of self reflection, self doubt, admitting you are wrong, and changing your mind, it means you wholly reject your own humanity, because you're making the claim that everything you think and say is correct. Humans are finite, mortal, and imperfect. We can't be correct on all of our views. For reference, I've changed my mind on several things over the last several years, many of which were deeply held beliefs (like egalitarianism, race realism, jews, rampant individualism, and libertarianism).
The very purpose of debate is to challenge our ideas, to make sure we're right, or to figure out if we're wrong, and adjust accordingly to the truth. If you refuse to participate in the best means of discovering truth, it means you reject truth, and consequently promote yourself to godhood. You, again, betray yourself as a hypocrite.
My responses change nothing. All I do is enumerate and explore truth. You are free to reject it, or not. I can't force you to change your mind. Feel free to cling to your hypocrisy if you like.
No one else is reading this. It's only you and me here. But, as stated previously, debate (even bad debate) still holds great value when there is no audience.
This is a tangential logical fallacy to an appeal to popularity. You're suggesting that large numbers are required for anything of importance, and if large numbers of people are not involved in a thing, that thing is therefore invalid. You crap on the merits of individuals improving themselves, because they're not "popular" enough.
Every response you give further details your own failings. You're not alone in that, though. When pressed, people are quite eager to display their own inadequacies, and especially in debate, they delight in those inadequacies, clinging to them like an anchor, letting it drown them, refusing to budge an inch, acting like the person who challenge's their ideas is an attack on their person, responding with violence and vitriol, refusing to self reflect or question, declaring themselves to be God. You, apparently, are no different. If you participated in debate, at all, you'd see the same thing. But, you don't, and continue to fail in the same ways as many others. But hey, according to your own logic, at least you're part of the popular crowd. Good for you!
