Except that the problem isn’t that he’s doing them one at a time.

Agreed. But if he were sincerely offering to do them one at a time instead of all at once (of course, we all know the offer isn't sincere), then I'm just pointing out what a pathetic evasion that is; it takes, in fact, less effort to do them all in one post, because it requires (n-1) less keystrokes, where n is the number of fatal flaws. If Jabba's time were so precious, that would be the most economical way for him to use it; yet somehow, of course, simple logic never works for Jabba.

- So far, I'm not planning to include the dishonest tactics in that one post. Otherwise, I'm planning to provide my responses to all the fatal flaws in that one post.

Putting forth a plan of how you will address things is the opposite of dishonest, it is the only way to move forward with a constructive discussion. Of course, you have no interest in constructive discussion, you are only interested in preaching your gospel. Which is, IMO, dishonest.

Your responses are supposed to describe your argument, not be it. That was also intentional. All the rules were intended toward some purpose.

Dave,
- I can do that, unless too many people don't want me to.

What we don't want is your extremely transparent attempts at evasion simply to perpetuate an already-failed argument.

One post. That's so you don't try to divide the discussion.
No quotes, cites, anthologies, etc. That's so you don't try to pad your answers and hide things in them.
Describe what your argument will be, don't make it. That's so you can't just skip past its rationale and beg discussion.
No repetition of the original argument. That's so you don't keep going in circles.
One or two sentences each. That's so you don't pretend you have too much to do.
One hour. That's so you don't whine about how badly you think your critics are treating you.

A page or so back, Theprestige gave you a very good example of what we're looking for.

But just that one, right?

- Yeah.
- If people want, I'll respond to all the dishonest tactics in the same post as the fatal flaws -- or just save the dishonest tactics for one later post.

Note that your "responses" are to be one or two sentences for each fatal flaw describing what your argument will be. Not the argument itself.

Do you also understand that?
