Re: Holmes, again
I disagree. That post is Holmes at his worst - misrepresenting his opponents and the debate in general, philosophical logic-chopping, long-winded tirades that are completely off-topic, and of course, a liberal peppering of ad hominem attacks against his opponents.
Did I say Holmes at his worst? That's Holmes at his usual, I guess. Nominating that trash as a "post of the month" is deplorable. Did you even read the post?

Re: Holmes, again
He didn't misrepresent anyone.
Well, that's 100% false. He's misrepresented the entire issue, as well as NJ's reasons for bringing it up. He's misrepresented several of the responses, as well.
The closest he comes to an ad hominem is the first sentence, while I was mostly focussed on the latter portion about consent.
Again, 100% false. The post is full of his veiled attacks, particularly several against me, who he supposedly has promised not to respond to. Of course, apparently a Holmes promise isn't any more hoonest than the rest of his posting activity.
Not that you're one to talk about ad hominem attacks.
Wouldn't that make me the expert in recognizing them?
There you go again.
Look, it's obvious from your erroneous statements that you haven't given the post anything but the most shallow of readings. Yet you're ready to enshrine it as a post of the month? You're being ridiculous.
