It’s been fun, but I’m not comfortable with this. While I agree that it’s absurd to argue that the moon can exist and not exist, I’m not comfortable debating someone if they are required to humiliate themselves by repeating a one-word answer. I understand the reason, but it feels too much like submission, like staring a dog in the eyes until it looks down. But I’ll keep reading all the excellent posts and comments.

Can the moon exist and not exist at the same time and in the same formal relation? |
Yes.

I take it he is answering Yes because that's what he really thinks, not because he has been put in a vice by a blog admin.
But he gets to a basic problem for Barry's behavior. I didn't expect to see anything like this come up (ben h deserves some knucks for pushing back, too -- he's just new enough that I'm not sure where he's coming from... could be a sock, etc.) from the pro-ID regulars.
OnEdit: JohnW beat me to the punch on SA2, I see
