In just a few days in lugnet.off-topic.debate, Robert Bevens:

Is a smart-aleck about it.
Also: Ignores substantive point on how annoying tit-for-tat arguments are.

Repeats himself unnecessarily. Again, sidesteps substantive point.

Continually attacks on non-existent points. Robert himself sets up a
strawman, by quoting in full
http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=9638.
This post does not contain the statement "I gather that in most modern
monotheistic type religions". Obviously, that statement cannot be identified
in that post. Robert ignores the thread linking the earlier post
http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=9608, which contains the
statement, and http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=9638.

Demonstrates a complete lack of courtesy.

Demonstrates a complete lack of respect for another person.

Demonstrates a need to play games rather than engage in real conversation.
And on that note Robert, come and get me.
