I'm not aware of a means by which goal posts can exist in a philosophical debate around rational vs. irrational thinking. Both types of thinking are valid, but I can see how and why some tend to argue for absolute rationality at all times.
It seemed to me you were changing the question that was being asked, and a question asked implies an answer, or 'goal post'
But if you were just developing new inquiry stead building off omalleyt then I apologise and would hope to encourage like critical thinking in the future
.. Thinking on it 'goal posts'.. and 'soap box' elsewhere in this thread.. lacks a timeless quality, I really should have left it out ;P
