No More Debates?

[Aloysius]

No one on phatmass has ever gone as indepth into any topic as is ultimately humanly possible, and therefore everyone can benefit from revisiting any and all topics that have been discussed before. there are infinite facets to every single thing, and a person who has allowed their intellect to mature can continue to travel down many countless roads each time they discuss something.

of course, they'll have to deal with the folks who have only just scatched the surface, which is a pain, but even that is enlightening, seeing someone scratch the surface of a topic for the first time, scratching the surface in a slightly differnet way than you scratched it once upon a time. you can simultaenously help them come to good perspectives and also learn from them, if you're clever enough.

but then, there are the idiots. and you can't do anything about them. which is why this pleasant gin in tonic that I have in my hand at present may occassionally come in handy ... wow, it's 4 am isn't it... just remember, ibf woz valid, and arrogant BaStage is pretty beaver good.

Who to?

Aloysius has obviously never had a debate with Reyb!
On second thought maybe he has!

What I'm wondering is how the people who have been here forever respond to all the rehashes of old arguments?
