Keep thinking that, Ray.
Does you interest at EvC ever wane?
I sometimes lack the energy to explain the same point yet again to yet another fundie who can't be bothered to read the thread....
But more often, I get frustrated by people who repeat the same nonsense even after it has been repeatedly explained to them (not naming any names, Nemesis_Juggernaut).
Bored? No. As long as some people don't get bored with being wrong, there's always a reason to keep shooting.

I've also grown tired of people picking fights only because they are intellectual masochists.
Don't confuse masochism with sadism.
Some of us may be here to learn, and that's getting harder with so many of the old teachers gone. Some are clearly here to teach (preach), but many of them know nothing.
Realistically, a lot of us are here to fight. The fight against ignorance is a noble one but the ignorant seem to be a never-ending supply of cannon-fodder. It can be tiring.
Sadly, we seldom get a shot at those who wilfully produce ignorance - the Hovinds and the Hams - the ones who are afraid to fight.

I don't necessarily care about winning arguments....
As I've mentioned before (you really ought to be taking notes), one of the nice things about EvC is that we all set our own winning conditions. For myself, if I learn something, I win. If somebody learns something from me (it could happen ), I win. If I make somebody smile, I win. If somebody makes me smile, I win. When somebody says nice things about me, I win.
And sure, when somebody like NJ runs away like a scalded cat, I win too. But there isn't much satisfaction in that.
