"So why do you keep arguing with KAoH then - over and over and over ad nauseam?"
Sort of like Everest - because he's there.
Keith has been haunting this forum for as long as I've been on it - don't recall you offering too much in opposition to his extremism, his dishonesty, insulting behaviour and his excesses.
I've said it before - I would love to see some Muslims on this forum - there was one once I believe.
Over the last year or so Keith has been forced to back down and tone down his behaviour - it hasn't happened out of a sense of respect for other members of this thread, but because he and his phantom historians have become a bit of a joke thanks to those who have stood up to him (as I said - not much sign of you there).
The fact that there are those happy to continue to make immigrants, refugees and gays the butt of their prejudices indicates (I hope) that there are those who are prepared to tell it as it is.
I've mostly enjoyed and benefited from genuine discussion here, but there are occasions when that has been somewhat like trying to carry on a conversation with a fractious child in the room, and when the alternative has been to let those who wish to, "win" something and have the last word.
I personally, don't find that satisfactory.
