Yeah, it's sad. I was just holding out for the summary version of the OP, and the quotes to be fixed, but the interest was there because its not everyday someone comes along thinking they have a proof for the non existence of God. So of course I was interested, but then it went to shit. So I may still attempt to read the OP in full at some point and make sense of it, but as far as interacting with this guy goes, seems too much like walking on eggshells, or being completely ignored, so not the best first impression I've gotta say.
@benny. I kind of - possibly - understood what he was meaning about 'this and that'... because I'm similar sometimes, especially reading philosophy or complex ideas; it's hard to keep track of the context sometimes, so if it has redundancy and repeats terms then that can help sometimes in understanding, reducing the amount of implicit (rather than explicit) context you have to keep in mind/remember. Like reading a book, I find it helps if they at least occasionally fully identify what they are talking about, by name, rather than just saying 'this' or 'that', so that I'm sure we're on the same page... figuratively speaking. Not sure this is exactly negatio's reason but just saying I think it's a possibility.
