I have watched these discussions for quite a while, seen responses to you that were ignored. And yes, I've seen your stuff ignored also. But of all the posters I've seen, you are among the most defensive and thin skinned.
It really isn't about winning. It's about presenting a good case, listening to criticism, revising your case. If you have a good case, you don't need to spend any time saying it's good. trust the lurkers to judge it.
Really? The evolutionists start whining at the slightest remark that shows them to be wrong. Even saying they are wrong they consider an insult. I have gone through hundreds of posts without responding in kind to insults in just about every single post made to me. And I do not respond from anger, I respond because one cannot allow character assassination of the kind hurled at me to go unnoticed. Silence is taken by some to mean assent, and one cannot assent to character assassination.
Her's the reason why - when one cannot deny the truth the only defense is to destroy the credibility of the person making the statement:
You know what I've seen?
I've seen killers walk free because the eyewitnness was an alcoholic.
I've seen sex offenders that could not be touched because the witness was a call girl.
Credibility
It's the only currency that means anything on this kind of playing field.
Dean's got the tape and he is going to come out with it and when he does I want his credibility.
I want people to know he's lying before they hear what he says.

So that's why I have to answer the insults, not because I like to, but because I have to.
