Would you rather play the part of the o-t.debate police? Do you feel
obligated to correct *everyone*? Assuming yes, should we always assume that
when you DON'T reply that that means you find nothing wrong with the
statements made? Should you respond to every "what, no answer?" post?
Assuming no, what posts do you think are ok to respond to? Any of them? Or
only those that are worth debunking? Is "you just don't get it, Larry" worth
your while to respond to?
Let him get away with whatever the heck he wants to. Who cares if he's
wrong? So what? If we all only respond to *meaningful* posts he's made, then
job well done by all of us.

stop, tho... doesn't seem to work... meanwhile, ignore if it's not worth it.

I agree. Let's stop encouraging it. Only reply to his posts if they're worth
your time. Agreed?
