After 3 good nights sleep, I didn't get to sleep until 9 o'clock this morning & was then up at 10.30. I am very tired and in no mood to be patient with people who can't or won't use very basic reasoning. When those people are sociology professors, my intolerance only increases.

I despair, I really do. It's not actually that hard to acknowledge someone's criticism of an argument you have made & then respond to that criticism as it actually remembering the point of yours that it is a response to. Point. Rebuttal Address rebuttal of point.

Sometimes, I find myself genuinely wondering if the person I am talking to has dementia or is very stoned and has genuinely forgotten what they said themselves five minutes ago, what my response what and what the whole point of the whole conversation was.

Also you can't bring in completely different justifications for your position to the one you started with when that one is shown not to work. Well, you can, but you have to acknowledge that the 1st one didn't work & give a good reason or we'll suspect post hoc rationalisation.
