What’s to be expected from the Twitter generation?

Isolating a quote or two from a polemic as if it was a Tweet, is typical of the post modern era.

Well done BTW on this thread. Very informative.

I’ve been thinking the same thing! Some imagine they can make their arguments based upon “sound bites” and then mock and criticize when their adversary cares enough to make a studied and well documented reply. That’s why I think there are those who view these forum threads as nothing more than arguments by assertion and who walk away thinking themselves victors when all they have done is “preach to the choir” while ignoring the genuinely curious seekers. I applaud Daniel1212 and others who show the lurkers respect and who sincerely care that the truth is presented no matter how much antagonism they face. Y’all are in my prayers often. Don’t be discouraged.

Or otherwise avoiding what refutes them.
