Cont: Proof of Immortality VIII

Jabba said:
- 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.

My mistake: I thought you meant that you wouldn’t use the dishonest tactics in that one post.

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.

- No.
- If more than 5 others would like to hear it my way, that's what I'll do. If 5 or less would like to hear it my way, I'll go "private." If no one wants to hear it my way, I'll quit bothering you.

Don't bother then. Your way is dishonest.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

How incredibly rude to the people who have already voiced their opinions. Why would your five imaginary people be that much more important than the fourteen who have already told you they don't want to hear your non-answers for the umpteenth time on your terms only?

If no one wants to hear it my way, I'll quit bothering you.

No one has ever wanted to hear it "your way." You've just foisted your "method" on people without their consent and rudely ignored them. Talk Stats threatened to close your thread unless you quit wasting their time and got the point. Whereupon you lost interest and left. We had an entire thread devoted to whether "your way" had any advantages. It does not.. It just wastes everyone's time. If you have learned nothing else from this debate over the past five years, you should have learned that nobody agrees to your pretentious one-sided terms.

Our way now, Jabba. Or then yes, feel free to go find your "neutral jury" who will hang on your every word and praise you for it, not having once burdened you with a pesky objection.

In the meantime, please carry on assuming no one wants to keep "debating" your way. Compose your answers for the fourteen people who have already endorsed the request that you do so.

- No.
- If no one wants me to do it my way, I'll go away.

Fourteen people have already registered their opinions. What makes you think just one voice to the contrary should tip the balance in your favor? We've tried it for five years "your way" and gotten nowhere. What makes you think one or two voices change those historical facts? Further, you're the one who put leaving the forum on the table. Several of the fourteen "members of the jury" here have affirmatively asked you to produce the one-post rejoinder. That you would just up and leave rather than advance the debate in the way everyone else has asked for tells us a lot.

I think you really don't care whether your proof for immortality has any merit. I think you're just groveling for attention and praise, and since you're not getting it here you need to manufacture one or more excuses why leaving wouldn't be an admission of failure. You're trying to change the rules of this debate to make it seem like we horrid skeptics ran you off. You're being invited to participate -- just not in the way you did before, which we've proven has no effect other than to waste time.

- If only one person is interested, we'll do it privately. I won't bother anyone else.

And what sequence of events would lead to you responding to the list of fatal flaws in the manner prescribed? None apparently. If no one lets you continue your time-wasting games here, you'll just take your ball and go home. Seems like I was right. You have no actual interest in a proof for immortality. You just want to rope people into playing your game for your selfish purposes.
