I've noticed a strong trend for Creationist posters to 'argue by quoting'. They begin their posts with a quote, then respond to any arguments with more quote. It seems they rarely argue the points, prefering instead to rely on outside authority. The evos meanwhile seem to argue the points, only quoting or posting links to support points they themselves have argued.
It's possible this only my impression, and not an actual property of the posts. Does anyone else agree with this trend?
Any ideas as to why it is so?
