I quit wasting my time by replying to his posts a few days ago. Your suggestion sounds like a good one, but some people will undoubtedly be tempted to try to inject some reason into the discussions with him.

Originally posted by DarfiusI think we have a commitment problem. You can very easily sign up for free and post (you must post in the existence of god(s) thread as I said. No lurking). Consider the structure of our dilemma. If I renege (I won't.), it's no big loss to you. Just stop going to the site. If however I purchase what, from the chapters I have read, is an annoyingly poor book, and you do not actually come through with an exchange on infidels.org, then at the very least, I will be out $10-$15.
You get the book yet, Tel? Let me know when you do and I'll sign up at that site you wanted me to.
You sign up. Send me your username. Post in the Existence of God(s) forum. When I see that you have taken this free,simple action, I will go down to B&N (It's about 1/4 mile from my place) and purchase the book. After reading the first chapter, i will send you a message informing you of its completion. You may quiz me a bit to get a decent feel for whether I have fulfilled my end of the bargain. You may continue to quiz me after every chapter, if necessary.
I really think you owe it to yourself to enter a forum where the members are there for the sole purpose of discussing these issues.

Originally posted by rwingettTrue, it is tempting. But then perhaps he does this board some service by producing an entertainment good for which there is some demand. Now this behavior may not be optimal since as you and others have pointed out, he does cause a rather significant, negative externality.

If you beat up on the guy too badly he'll take his ball and go home. Then you won't have anyone to play with. 😞

HALFTIME UPDATE:
Well the rookie Darfius is still standing despite a relentless melee of logical attacks by the likes of no1marauder, silver fern, rwingett to name a few.
Bible in hand and the 700 club on the TV, he presses on but I sense a breakdown forthcoming....
Something’s got to give!
What a display of intestinal fortitude.

no1marauder seems to be calling out Darfius!!!! We have all seen the impressive record no1marauder carries and I just don't think Darfius has the mental gametime experience to take him on.
The Xian fans in the arena are now starting to boo as they see their champion submitting to mental fatigue. I don't know how much longer the kid can stand.
We will be back with our halftime show starring the Women of Agnostism/Atheisism (Playboy March 2004) cheerleaders and the monster truck rally at Mt.Sinai!!!!!
