I did debate in the atheist versus Christian chat room. I do not much debate in that room anymore but occasionally visit to talk to some Christian friends I made in the room.
Ken, first, I have never once seen you talk to any 'friends' in the room. In fact, for the past several months, all I have seen you do is come in, post a few cut-and-paste messages along the lines of 'evolution refuted at
http://www.myfortress.org', then repeat the 'jesus saves' catchphrase, and leave.
Second, you never 'debated' in the room in the first place. A debate involves a give and take exchange of evidences and opinions on all sides. Since you never presented any new material, nor did you ever seem to learn from past mistakes (I let the links in my previous post speak for themselves), you were in no way debating.

I generally avoid the room now because the professed atheist in that room invariably resort to logical fallacies such as ad hominem (attack the person rather than the argument)
Like I said before, Ken, you have presented no new arguments to back up any of your opinions. There comes a point, usually the sixth or seventh time we've debunked the same cut-and-paste argument from you, where everyone knows you have nothing new to offer. Since you make no effort to change this situation, our mockery of your cheap, trolling habits are entirely justified.

and genetic fallacy (attack the source rather than the content
Ken, perhaps some do this, I have yet to see any of the regs engage in that though. If the site has nothing to do with what you claim (as with your latest visit), then we'll more than happily mock it. Otherwise, we've gone through and pointed out various errors with the content for each *new* site you have posted.

And unless you can show otherwise, I know of none who regularly chat in AvC.

Also, I did change my name to avoid the nonsense of ad hominem tactics.
Actually, you change your name, and I paraphrase your own words, to aid your own debate tactics, and for the same reason armed forces personel wear camoflouge. When asked to elaborate on this, you persistantly refuse, and thus we must come to our own conclusions. I, for one, believe that you do it simply to avoid people's ignore function.

Next, I learned a lesson in my debates in that room and that is "you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink." If someone rejects the Bible move on if they become unreasonable.
So why haven't you 'moved on' yet? You still come to the room, you still post links to the same debunked sites (myfortress.org and tektonics.org spring immediately to mind), and you still engage in the same trolling tactics you accuse others of.

Lastly, I like the EVC forum much better because it does not attract the yahoos as much as yahoo does (pardon the pun).
A statement I can fully agree with.
