The Ontological Argument - valid or debunked?

Personally, until I see a proposal of how it might be defined in practice, asserting that it could be done in principle seems premature.  I'm skeptical that it can be done.

Frankly the ontological argument seems to me to be the least convincing, most absurd argument for deity amongst those lauded by philosophers.
