If you want to know the truth of it, I think that Dipshit's increasingly arcane and lengthy replies are nothing but a smokescreen. Its pretty evident to me that he intends to try to force Mike to default the debate either by clouding his points so thoroughly that Mike misses one or makes a careless error; or by simply posting messages so lengthy that Mike simply does not have time to reply under the debate deadline.Either way, he gets to say "Aha ! See? I win !" Without ever making a goddamned grain of sense.
He will maintain his Fortress of Ignorance defense (I think its gone beyond a mere Wall now), impervious to all logic or reason, and simply try to talk Mike to death, in other words.
Have I missed something?

Trooper 1138, Mike recently PMed me explaining that he intends to try and "cut the crap" with his next post by preventing DarkStar from retreating further behind a wall of crappy arguments. He will try to draw the troll back to the main points. I'm not sure exactly how he intends to do this, but I'm sure he will be fairly successful with it.

It's more like the Maginot Line of Ignorance.Stormtrooper THX-1138 wrote:He will maintain his Fortress of Ignorance defense (I think its gone beyond a mere Wall now), impervious to all logic or reason, and simply try to talk Mike to death, in other words.
That's exactly what he's trying to do. He can't make a point so he has to discredit Mike. He'll just keep up the Iron Man defense, throwing out more and more bullshit until Mike can't or won't reply to it all. Then he'll start crowing at the top of his lung about how he won.

Fortunately the IronMan defense only works if there isn't a preset post limit for a debate... it works via unlimited posts.
I think he's mainly just spamming to hide his weak points.
"Uh, I'm tired of you discrediting the name of the 'Superlaser Effect'. The Webster dictionary has already acknowledged Superlaser Effect as the correct term. So, like, shut up ok?"
And I'm tired of Trekkies trying to deny the "Q Doohicky". "Q Doohicky" is the accepted term for Q's, hm, doohicky thingy he does.
