No, its not bad faith. I'm not trying to deceive you in any way. I told you I read the first part, and only the first part. I then limited my response to the first part and explained why I did that. I made it clear why I stopped and why I would not continue.
Bad Faith - intent to deceive.
Maybe you are getting your terms mixed up, because, how I know it I did not do it.
It would be bad faith if you read it and decided you didn't have a logical reply but falsely claimed you didn't read it. I have only your word that you didn't do that, and I have lots of experience arguing with people who like to cherry pick which arguments they respond to.
If I assume, however, that you actually didn't read it, I'll amend my description to cheesy, instead. Not reading the other person's entire argument is not conducive to constructive discussion. If you had written 5 paragraphs making several points and I had chosen to reply to only one, I'm sure you'd feel the same way. You know, that feeling of "what is the point in even bothering to debate this guy because he won't even read what I write?" That feeling.
Sometimes responding to an argument requires stringing together more than a few words. I realize people around here have the attention span of house flies and won't read past a third sentence. In fact, you're probably not even reading this paragraph now. But assuming you are, I request that in the future you either read my post entirely or not reply to it at all. I've always paid you the same respect.
