(statler).......You're adept at debating, but you seem to lack any gift for nuance......

It's hard to be nuanced about verbal masterbation.

He is adept at none of the fruitful aspects of debating. He neither submits to mutural examination for the purposes of Finding, broadening, validating and reaffirming the more meritorious of the two arguments, nor attempt any persuasive advocacy or nonporous defense of his own position, nor even play effectively to any audience that's actually present. He ignores rebuttals. He waste time by rehash long discredited garbage without doing anything to reinvigorate the same old lines. He falls back on claims of authority without credentials. He attacks the qualification of his counterparts without addressing the arguments presented before him. He mimics poorly only some of the form of a debate while avoiding the all of the substance of a debate. He comes here apparently for the sole purpose of acting out the fantasy of being the fount of higher received wisdom, using this forum and it's participants as props in a piece of self-absorbed theatric played to himself as the main audience. But maybe that can not be avoided in one deluded enough to subscribe to the sickeningly Calvinist mixture of maximum moral conceit and maximum intellectual servility, the fantasy of being capriciously "elected" by a cruel despot to whom one nonetheless owns eternal and all encompassing graveling subservience.

He is jerking off, moaning the words of his "theology", at the expense of persons charitable enough to give him some time. Too bad before his end comes and the ultimate blackness descends irrevocably to extinguish his last delusional light, he can't be made to pay back all the valuable time he took away from the rest of us.
