[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7574181, member: 85555"] I would 100% agree my objectivity is probably not the best when it comes to Pemerton. I think though, I am more objective than he is when we have our exchanges. I at least understand I am dealing with an intelligent poster who has given a great deal of thought to these things. And I try not to be insulting of anyone's intellect in these exchanges. I don't feel that is reciprocated. And my memory of this earlier phase of the debate is different from your's (though admittedly, on a hundreds page thread, I could be mistaken). My main gripe is with the OP of this thread, which I had asked him not to start and I felt was overly aggressive (maybe I am being a baby, but I just don't like a poster taking one quote like that from me and starting a whole thread against it, when I said I wasn't interested in the conversation). And to me the disingenuousness of the argument being made in the OP, is so obvious It is purely a rhetorical tactic (the idea that someone invokes realism, so they would need to defend a setting being as realistic as the processes that underly reality? That makes any invocation of realism useless). It feels to me like the argument of someone who is intelligent and educated in the process of debate, but using that knowledge in a way that isn't sincerely trying to arrive at anything true (it is just being used to win).
