He’s done this ‘just asking’ silliness numerous times in regards to this topic. He doesn’t participate and occassionslly even admits he’s not interested in engaging or changing minds.

After review, this is earning you a warning, elbows. It is not your place to make such accusations in Great Debates. If you feel someone is arguing in bad faith or for other reasons that to actually debate you may bring it up in the Pit or with the staff. You may not do so in an open post.
