Several times when dealing with people on this list with whom I

position, and if he does not answer them, just ignore him. ...

If there is no further answer, I ignore the person. If the person repeats a logical or factual error, perhaps in a rather different form, I repeat my objection. I don't want the other person to win the argument by mere repetition. Who was it who said that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth?
