The Usurper:You are missing the point. Maybe Czuch doesn't acknowledge your points because he doesn't agree with any of them. That's a possibility.
That's beside the point of my post to you. Challenging a person's debating tactics seems legitimate to me. So if someone twists what you say, then it's right that you should set them straight. When people do twist things, they are often building up straw men arguments and those are easily to point out.
But to say that the other isn't a serious debater addresses the person and not the argument. Also your statement as to his use of logic is questionable as well (on the same grounds).
I only point this out because when you first came on here, you stood on the fact that you were all about a "gentlemanly" debate. Others commended you for not throwing insults. Now you are throwing insults (and have in other posts as well) and I can't help but wonder, where are those critical voices now? And why the change in you? Is it a sign of frustration?
For the most part, when I read your posts (on 911) I don't get the impression that you want us to consider your points and come to our own conclusion; but you want to tell us what we should think (apparently because you've done all the thinking for us or something like that).
