I haven't posted a link to this in a long time:
Why I No Longer Debate Idiots . If you haven't read it in a while, it's well worth the 2 minutes. This little essay contains much wisdom.

Why I No Longer Debate Idiots Indeed, a good link. I hope it's clear to the lurkers that I and many regular evos simply tune out some of the more "been-there-done-that" cases from the other side, lest every thread turn into every previous thread.

From your
link:
An idiot, therefore, is a person who continues to stand by an opinion by ignoring or knowingly misrepresenting evidence.
Pretty much sums up at least one poster on these threads.
