In your opinion.

They disagreed with you the first time.  Repetition doesn't make your 
position any more persuasive.

You realize that your sentence above simply doesn't parse?  That it 
is, factually, gibberish?

In any case, extrapolating a bit about what you may have inteneded:
One can just as well say that you simply ignore, and refuse to accept,
the arguments that have been brought in rebuttal to your points,
because you are too stubborn and ignorant to listen and consider
thoughtfully those rebuttals.  IMO you have not presented any
perspective that wasn't been argued at length for months before you
ever joined these lists.  There is absolutely nothing to be gained
about arguing this stuff yet again. 

I don't mind that people disagree with me -- happens all the time. 
But after a certain amount of tedious repetition I stop paying
attention.  This whole thing is not life and death.  We are just
talking about names, for God's sake -- syllables formed by our mouths
flapping certain ways.
