Ummm no?
This is the whole reason I've started to find it a waste of personal time.
Then where does that leave me? Debates do deconvert people. No offense, but it's rather ridiculous to say they're pointless. I mean it's kind of like the general saying of 'if you don't have a shot at it, you'll never know what would of happened'. No debates, no converts for either side... quite obvious really.
