The fact that they mindlessly repeat the same exploded nonsense is plenty of reason to tell them to shut up, unless and until they can finally respond with evidence and intelligence.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/mxaa3p" rel="nofollow">Glen Davidson</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647353309370269220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-38891743563184807572013-07-25T14:12:49.455-04:002013-07-25T14:12:49.455-04:00@Quest

There is a lot of name calling and bad behavior by any standard of civility, thus, "civility" on it's own is not the major consideration.<br /><br />Second, they (almost) always agree with each other even if comments are moronic by our standards. For example, Joseph will make some obscure usually ad hom comment followed by a citation blizzard by BA77 and the rest of the inmates will "high five" the replies.<br /><br />Third, and perhaps most important, the IDiots don't even engage in discussions among themselves. Entire threads are composed of stand-alone comments, congratulations and insults. No conclusions are ever reached. Just by their handles you know exactly what they're going to say.<br /><br />True, though, whenever Luskin or Klinghoffer open their yaps you have a pretty good idea of what is going to come out.<br /><br />And that's why you can't have a discussion with an IDiot. They just don't have the capability.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921039513056888571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-57577897586123551652013-07-25T11:15:56.444-04:002013-07-25T11:15:56.444-04:00He just attacks, truth means nothing to him.
He h...He just attacks, truth means nothing to him.<br /><br />He had a blog for a while (It's still on the web, but dead--Kingdom of Priests), and some of us would throw out facts, attempt a discussion, and he'd always ignore what we said while fobbing us off with some inane tripe. We'd discuss issues, he wouldn't.<br /><br />He doesn't understand the issues. That's as close as I can come to any excuse for such a counterfactual statement. He may not recognize when ID is being addressed, rather, like most of them, once you've left the ID script you're judged as not dealing with ID. Of course one cannot properly discuss ID using ID nonsense as its basis.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/mxaa3p" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/mxaa3p">Glen Davidson</a><br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647353309370269220noreply@blogger.com
