Hi, Straggler.

Effective debators or not we gotta be true to ourselves. Otherwise we would both be inferior Mod clones!!!
I think there's something to be said for this. With a whole spectrum of evolutionists posting on every single thread that's promoted, we have the distinct advantage of effectively getting to attack each message from a good half-dozen different angles. Even when multiple posters respond to the same point, we often end up keying in on different aspects of the same point.
I don't really subscribe to the idea that there is only a single right way to approach things, so I don't think we all have to emulate Modulous in order to be effective.
This forum would certainly be much more interesting if the creationists could ever present a united front, feeding off one another, the way the evolutionists do. But, when two creationists gather, they usually get isolated by different packs of evolutionists into separate sub-topics; or usually give way to a single spokesperson, with the others only chiming in to tell the spokesperson what a good point they've just raised.
