Re: The "ORIGINAL" POINT, or not
Hello, Mirabile_Auditu.
Your reply contains no substance. I also notice that you have just been suspended. If and when your posting privileges are restored, it would be appreciated if you could make your point more clear.
I was also hoping to engage you on the abiogenesis topic that you started; in particular, I was hoping you would respond to my reply to your opening post. I hope that you will reply there if and when you return.

good manners AND annoying
Hi, bigsplit.
Here is a game that I find fun to play. Completely ignore the off-topic portions of the post, except to politely point out that they are off-topic, and gently repeat the relevant points and request a reply.
Keep repeating as necessary -- if you are lucky, you will be "debating" someone who has, er, problems with staying focused. If you are not so lucky, the other person will be able to focus on the topic and attempt to put forth a cogent reply. But this can also be enjoyable, if slightly less interesting.
Edited to add:
Oops. I almost forgot. Welcome to EvC.

Aye, there's the rub.

That's a pretty big "if".
