in the “Earth is flat. I read it in the paper.” thread.
Of course, if you go by word count, then, statistically, no-one did…except Phaedrus.
Oh, I wanted to, badly. It bugs me when someone is provided with incontrovertible evidence and says, in effect, “Nuh-uh!”
And I make this solemn vow: I will not post in that thread, regardless of how much I’d love to say “Damn it! You’ve been proven wrong seventeen different ways! Give it up!”
And no Great Debates thread will ever get that long again. I vow it to be so. Heck, the Atheist Religion thread was only six hundred and some messages long and it got all screwed up.
(That was supposed to be #625 in the Atheist Religion thread, but A. it wouldn’t post… and wouldn’t post… and wouldn’t post… and B. it’s applicable here too.)
I read most of ‘em. By the end I wasn’t bothering to read Phaedrus’ babbling.
Dr. Fidelius was the one who achieved sainthood for his patience in that thread. He kept on longer than anybody else, I think. Now, in a new thread started by Phaedrus, there are a couple of people who are actually asking him serious questions – silly people. We’ll see how long they last.
Or both.
Wasn’t it? KGB shows up, makes Phaedrus-like posts, insists he’s not Phaedrus, flames away and loses his access, and then < poof > Phaedrus just happens to come back as soon as KGB is gone. Amazing coincidence…
