Purpose of Skeptic vs Proponent Discussions Forum

Fls and Arouet are both here: the old tag team back in action which is really going to test the as yet to be decided moderation policy. I have to say that I don't trust a word from either of them.

The quoting system here leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm so glad you've joined this new forum, Linda. I noticed Arouet had joined the defunct and short-lived LP. So perhaps he will join here as well.

Arouet signed up here five days ago.

Well then I guess we are a true community once more. Looking forward to some good discussions.

Only a matter of time until we begin seeing sentient furniture or exotic equines...

With Bart V as well, that only leaves Paul.

And Steve001.

Much as I disagreed with him most of the time, I learned a lot from Paul - especially in the evolution debates. He had me scurrying around the internet, fact checking and looking for explanations that I could understand. With Steve001 and Bart V (Sparky) I knew exactly what to expect and I knew it was pointless getting into an argument with them but I never suspected them of dishonesty: they were both up-front and hard-line atheist/materialists and the worst you could accuse them of was merely parroting skeptic blogs.

I just had a queasy feeling about Linda and Arouet - certain that there was a spoiler agenda but knowing that they were both clever enough to disguise it. I know they are here now and I know they know how I feel from way back so I'm not revealing any secrets or pushing for an instant ban. Time will tell whether the remain or not, all I can say is be wary of getting drawn into a spiral of nit-picking arguments.

Well if the challenge is one of intellectual discussion, then I think we should welcome our most talented thought opponents.

I won't include Steve001 in that category I'm afraid.

I suppose proponents could use a punching bag...

Not at all, though I suppose that after all this time you are probably into rocket science and most certainly authored a sonata as well.

Well, I know enough about music to know that it's "composed".

And I did play the old "lunar lander" BASIC game a lot when I was a kid. Does that count?

By the way, the simplest way to quote a post is to to click the reply rather than quote button.

Thanks Typoz.  That's much better.

It's so nice to see that you are as charming as ever. 

Sure, it's as real as anything else in that résumé.
