Anyways, I've expressed my position on the issue, and I have little interest in convincing you to join me. It seems that you have a rather high view of your own intellect; therefore such attempts would be fruitless.

(a) If only more persons were as handy with thoughtful arguments as they are with rhetorical flourishes. Then they might be more convincing, and not so fruitless.

(b) It's not just about me, Robin. What of the other readers of this board? Don't they deserve to find a good argument from your side, whether or not it convinces me?
