I think DP's best bet is to source everything. Include quoted, relevant segments of studies/research along with the link to the rest of the study. If he is more well-researched, there will be fewer holes in the foundations of his arguments. I look forward to seeing how DP will approach this.

This is why you should never gamble with a known prophet. Of course, the fact that it's all so sadly predictable helps more than somewhat.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

A knowledge of piss-poor literature might come in handy someday, TGAC.

I actually had to look that one up. That certainly was not my intent. I guess it didn't cross my mind that the participants would look over this thread.

That was a well-crafted post by DP, in my opinion. Very solid. I very much enjoyed reading it.
