Nobody comments on your blog. #3 is a classic example of "refusing to think." It is part of the epidemic of postmodernism. If the speaker could articulate his own thoughts, it would go something like this: "I am free to choose my own reality. Your facts and arguments are irrelevant, because all Reality is relative. I am not required to believe any of the evidence that you present." btw - do I score extra points for fitting reality, relative, and irrelevant all in the same sentence? Bummer.
