1875 was not "mindless knee-jerk reaction," in fact if we're talking about mindless knee-jerking perhaps we should talk about that group of people who misread things in one place and then go off to another place to complain to a totally unrelated person about their misapprehension.

1872 was pointing out that there is a group of people that persist in bringing forth the same rebutted arguments ad nauseum.

1884 was pointing out that a later post on that thread said that "nameless" and "lapdog" were screennames that those people had chosen for themselves, so it was a reasonable conclusion that those people were the ones mentioned (I still don't know who was meant, perhaps they are on a different forum, but I was right in saying they were not you two). Note that this was based upon what someone actually said rather than upon what I might have misread someone as saying.

I'm sorry if my confidence in my point of view makes you feel like I have "talking points" and am being mindlessly reactive. I've given a lot of thought to this topic and spent a lot of time researching it, and if I repeat things that you consider to be "talking points," it is because those are well-reasoned responses to the oft-rebutted arguments that people often bring here from sites such as AiG. I would love to be able to stop having to repeat myself over and over and over. How about you pray and I hope for people to stop bringing oft-rebutted talking points to the thread, and then perhaps we can get something done.

How else do you argue the Earth is 6000 years old? You just keep looking for new places to pop up.

We have an agreement!
