When we say to you over and over and over again, "Black. Black. Black.", and you persist in replying, "So, white then?", what I get from that exchange is that you aren't really interested in discussing the ACTUAL issue. There's certainly room for differences in opinion - it'd be pretty boring if there wasn't! - but stop trying to claim that we're saying something we're explicitly NOT. It's dishonest, and shows a marked lack of respect.
