I understand where you are coming from William, and I do not intend for my words to be disparaging with out reason. Reviewing the entire thread, a lot of what you posted is either one line questions or comments. Many of the comments are just statements that are not really explained. It would be helpful to explain why certain statements in MJM's posts are akin to Open Theism, for example, rather than just stating that it is. Also, articles, though good, are not really personal and interacting with MJM's posts. They tend to be "canned presentation" (though good presentation) that more than likely MJM is already familiar with. Posting articles sort of assumes your debator has to stop everything, read the article, and then respond to it point by point, rather than interacting with others who can boil down the article's salient points. See what I mean? This is, after all, a theological discussion board.

That is what I was reacting to.
