waits till the guy announces he has left the forum before he comes in with all this coward liar bs.

Announcing a surrender by saying you're leaving the forum is the same as saying "I'm sorry, never mind, I was wrong". Hey, a little high-fiveing is deserved. Fighting ignorance is hard work.

It wasn't quite that simple. In this particular case Liberty Wins asked a question predicated upon both a strawman definition of evolution (the "only the strong survive" canard) and also a completely unfounded assertion that violent criminals are somehow "stronger" than ordinary people. When his fallacies were exposed, he simply ducked out of the discussion without any further comment on his past faulty line of reasoning and a parting comment that dishonestly implied that anyone claimed that the world's problems could be solved through the theory of evolution. It wasn't just his abandoning of the discussion, it was that he abandoned it without so much as admitting his mistake (or attempting to show that he was not mistaken) and his dishonest strawman in the same post.
