In the
What exactly is ID? thread, Smooth Operator's behavior sort of leaves others no option but to beg him to actually participate in discussion. In
Message 296 I said this:

As described in the Forum Guidelines, references should be provided in support of, not in place of, one's own arguments. If all you're going to provide is book titles and links then please stop doing this. If you've already provided the information elsewhere in this thread, then please provide a link. If you need help linking to messages, just ask.
And in response in
Message 314 Smooth Operator says this:

Why should I stop? I rpovided my arguments plenty of times, and only thing I got back in return is that they are wrong, non-scientific, and other crap atheist like to throw out at others when they have nothing to say. Why should I bother to explain anything to you when I already did thousands of times before, yet I got no real response back?
I don't really think Smooth Operator can be coaxed into a more collegial form of participation, but if any moderators get a bolt of insight then please give it a try.
