You are assuming that the peer-reviewed philosophical journal is absolutely correct... but to do so is to argue from establishment, which is an assumption that establishment is correct. I have always made it clear that I do not accept things just because others accept them... I must justify correctness for myself.
I did address the points you raised... in particular: I addressed how "Can God create a rock that he cannot lift?" is not a loaded question, nor indeed fallacious in any way. I could ask the equivalent of myself: "Can I create a rock that I cannot lift?"... it is as valid a question as they come... and you have yet to refute my arguments in any reasonable way. I read your previous arguments, and I responded to them. I supported what I said with a dictionary, because definitions are often debated (like the definition of a loaded question)... and you have not yet shown me how the definition of a prepositional phase is incorrect. Also notable... I have shown that all of language is presupposed... which would be to invalidate all language if presupposition of definition is fallacy.
I think you are incorrect, I showed how i thought you were incorrect, and you have yet to respond with how you are not incorrect. You note those you copy off of... but almost every statement of mine is my own. My entire last post was original work... and it was in response to your first point (and your defense of that point). I have shown what made "Have you stopped beating your wife?" valid or invalid, and how a single question is just that: one question... I am waiting on your response to such points
If you want me to quote you so much, I suppose I could edit your quotes into my response... though I don't see what impact it makes 
As for independent support of my arguments? I have a pizza, Arcanus... I have a pizza. My independent support is a pizza, and the evidence is delicious.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
