If discourtesy and disrespect are your idea of "reasoned discussion" then we must be speaking different languages. I've done my best to be polite and respectful of you in this discussion, your lack of ability to use the controls on my camera notwithstanding, but your continued discourtesy and mischaracterizations are making that more and more difficult.
