You can for example read the last posts of: Allas8 He has been heavily pushing the Israeli narrative and he also happens to be a flat earther!
Shlomo fags, make different accounts for your different psy-ops!

Lol. As i said - don't get your panties in a twist. Neither of us have any obligation to continue a conversation - no matter the cause. There is no need to take it so personally!
Just now, yes - i see that you did (though it isn't so much a response in a conversation, as it is a flippant declaration of your abandonment of it). Prior to that you did not, but there was (and is) no reason for anyone to be upset about that. Anytime you don't wish to respond, for whatever reason, is fine by me.
Asking specific questions is an excellent conversational habit (and citing/quoting is too!), however demanding answers like a petulant child and then throwing a tantrum when you don't receive them; isn't. It's best to understand this if you want conversations to be interesting and/or productive.
Why wouldn't you want to answer questions on a research community?
In theory, not many.
In practice, there are 3 primary ones :
The question is asked disingenuously/disearnestly. Some examples of this are rhetorical questions (possibly part of a gish gallop), or questions that are purely intended to mock/deride/insult etc.
The question asked is a non-sequitur and/or distraction from the discussion at hand. This is a tactic essentially analogous to a red herring, though can certainly be unintentional as well.
The question asked is an exercise for the earnest student. In this case, although i could simply answer the question - spoonfeeding the answer actually weakens the student and makes them less capable of answering questions on their own in the future (feed a man a fish, and all that). In this case i am happy to supply any and all assistance i can to a student which has tried and failed to answer such questions on their own, but i can only do that once they explain what they have tried / where they have looked first - so that i can, hopefully, point them in the right direction.
