Absolutely pathetic, in lieu of an intelligent discussion...

GfS, my offer stands: a moderated debate where logic has to make sense, personal insults get you thrown out, and all facts come from mainstream news sources. And where you actually have to support what you say when its fallacies are pointed out to you. Put up or shut up about intelligent discussion. While you're at it, learn to take a joke.

You, too, Akenaton: Let's have a real debate on the subject of civil rights for gay people. I agree with your list of internet discussion irritants, although not with your assessment of me in that regard. I would add two more irritants: people who enter discussions, make unsupported statements, refuse to support them, and then wait a day or so and make the same statement all over again. Thread hijackers. Like you. The second is people who claim that everyone who disagrees with them is a member of a brain-washed herd who can't think for themselves. Like you do. If you can't maintain a debate that you start and won't deal with other people as individuals, you are just a waste of everyone else's time. Put up or shut up.
