Guest Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I don't mean to sound disrespectful to Jon, and I haven't followed everything he's posted, but is it possible he's a minor? I'd hate to see a kid get ripped to shreds or have most of the opposing arguments fly over his head if he's too young to really grasp certain concepts. Just a thought.

Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted April 11, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2017 @Faithfulless I have also internally questioned Jon's age. Certainly the quality of content posted thus far is barely year 9. Lets face it, this is not going to be a debate based on what we have seen. This will be Jon making a few assertions with nothing to back them up, then LB will promptly nuke the argument, rinse and repeat until Jon gives up. (No offense Jon, but looking at the content and quality difference between your posts and LB's, you are just not ready for this. I haven't seen more than 4 lines in a single post from you. I trust you will learn something here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option would be to refuse and dismiss him because we think he's not up to the task. I don't know his age or the age of anyone else for that matter. Winners and losers both learn something from a debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us that are older, we can all say, "I was young once and I was ignorant, foolish, unaware, etc." I suspect Jon is not yet well educated in rational thinking, logic, evidence based reasoning, use of logical fallacies, how to write simply and coherently, etc. To help him learn, and have a meaningful experience here, I would choose to keep it simple and focused with him.

Though I don't know for sure, I get the impression that he's rather young. Either way, he certainly comes across as simplistic in his thought processes. I definitely don't think he realizes how much in over his head he's gotten himself with the formal debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who would rather start another thread for that purpose, please feel free to do so. This is assuming Jon actually posts his opening in the Arena! I do have one suggestion for LB. Jon has 3 days from the start of the debate thread to post his opening argument, so I personally would recommend not repeatedly posting how many hours it's been in that thread. That's just my own opinion, of course, and perhaps others disagree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the one who came here posting upwards of eight threads at a time, asking all sorts of inane questions and then ignoring the responses of others in an effort to go start new topics. He's the one talking about being one of his god's "faithful foot soldiers" (his own words) - so if it's soldiers, that means battle. If it's battle, that means let's get to it already. I've gone on record saying that he's either a troll or this is a lark for him - something to make him think he's really doing "the lord's work" by posting his grade-school, logic-deprived "challenges" to all of us, as if we hadn't not only seen those questions before, but ASKED them ourselves in our own journeys. I'm ready to tangle. Oh, and F.Y.I. - I haven't "repeatedly" anything, unless you think entire working days worth of hours in between MY OWN POSTS with zero response is "repeatedly". Now, go find the questions that IronHorse got asked... THERE'S repeatedly for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted April 13, 2017 Super Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have to say, even if I'm not a huge fan of OrdinaryClay, he did at least show up when Bhim challenged him. Maybe not in a big way, but he at least showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted April 13, 2017 Super Moderator Share Posted April 13, 2017 The next post in The Arena thread needs to be from Jon. Eventually the thread will automatically lock if there is no activity. Jon, not asking again. We can just wait until the debate thread locks, I really don't care.
