Not lonely, but it can be damned hard to offer sensible, thought-out and researched answers to a large, baying crowd detecting fresh meat who consider the entire gamut fair game and themselves as expert as one would need to be. Trying to be honest and accurate - and being called a cowardly liar for your trouble! - takes a lot more effort than just saying stuff. |
it's important to remember that it's all about the LULZ
pretending like there is some sort of substance to critique therefore good faith internetting discussion is possible with ID creationists is a huge error IMO
that's a very different thing from fisking the tard.
look at wes on dembski: fisks the tard, brutally and without remorse, in print, with citations and leaves it up for dembski to run away from.
that's a totally different from trying to get KF to admit he is a lying dooshbag on UD where he can be lord of the flies gilligan bob marley gk chesterton version.
So, although I may have not been as clear on this in this thread as I was in my head, i think fisking the tard is great. i guess what i am getting at is that there are a lot of smart people wasting a great deal of time and effort to fruitlessly yet systematically expose the Wizard in the arguments made by some very obtuse, dishonest and stubborn stupid fucking creationists.
And I have done it too. And I hopefully will in the future. But I am about convinced that "wasting a great deal of time and effort" is a pretty good descriptor, if your objective is to detard more tards.
oh shit this is now framing
