Because Skybird uses these forums to preach. He's not interested in discussion, only in conversion.

I'm aware of that. I have been lurking here almost daily since I registered. I just can't see two wrongs making one right, it just makes these threads even more difficult to read.

Most forums have a lot more readers than posters, and without opposition Skybird's sermons may seem persuasive to some.

I see Skybird getting plenty of opposition in the threads he makes, but I have hard time labeling Tribesman's messages as opposition. But I guess it's a matter of taste and style.

Edited to add: I also remember seeing Tribesman making lots of good and well thought out points in other threads. So I just can't understand why he doesn't make more of those and if he doesn't want to do it with Skybird (which I can understand), then just ignore him and let those, who want to, do it.

Exactly. Not everyone is swayed by the type of counter-argument you prefer. Besides, Tribesman usually produces the goods sooner or later.

Would that make it a bit like that fundamentalism?

Sometimes, I generally just prefer to prod so people may look for themselves, Sky makes it so easy because he either makes claims which are about something well established that clearly contradicts him when you look at it or makes claims that he backs up by linking to real loony websites which he describes as "academic".

You noticed that too, did you?
