Crazy people have always fascinated me. Sye TenBruggencate is a troll who finds messages boards and posts hundreds of comments. He has a system of "debate" that is basically asking "why" over and over and never understanding anyone. What makes him different than a 2 year old is he has a computer. And he's willing to post comments. Hundreds of times. Almost always the same rubbish. He won't answer questions preferring to answer with more questions.

Despite being debunked over and over, he claims to always be the winner. Oh, and God tells him stuff.
He used to use the screen-name "Canuckfish"

ReplyDeleteNo one should be lost on the fact that after all our interactions, and hundreds upon hundreds of posts, Stephen Law has NEVER given us his own account for the universal, abstract, invariant laws of logic, or on what basis he proceeds with the assumption that they WILL hold.
I'll leave it up to you all to determine why that is.

The answer is obvious - it's because I am not sure I know the answer.
So I will ask you how is that being "debunked over and over"?
Argument from ignorance.
ReplyDeleteThat guy doesn't know there it must be God!
Sye doesn't debate - he pleasures himself in chat rooms.
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously he's been debunked, over and over. He refuses to answer questions, refuses to admit his presupposition is logically inconsistent, and contradicts himself repeatedly. He's a walking-talking representative of the Lying for Jesus crowd...
Sorry, I hate people who advertise their own writing, but I've come up with a strategy for dealing with Sye. I haven't really convinced anyone to utilize it - but from the ~3000 posts I've followed him around with, I think it might work. Check it out, only if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteI've had the recent pleasure of debating Sye at Premier Christian Radio.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable - it's the 31st July 2010 one.
It was a struggle, and boy did I struggle. Ignore the arguments I put forward - they were desperate.
I'm collecting the meta-arguments against Sye to save anyone new from the pain of dealing with this guy. My blog is http://patientandpersistant.blogspot.com/.
If anyone has anything useful to add - and please don't post rebuttals to his specific lines of argument, then please add your comments there.
There are two threads worth looking at too.
