Debates is becoming boring[...] Duchess64 and a cadre that includes normbenign, Eladar and a few others recycling and trading the same insults over and over again.
Cue stuff about me being a "pathological liar".

I can't recall anyone here ever "yelling at [you] to stop proselytizing them". Do you mean googlefudge or sonhouse? I know they can be robust and passionate sometimes, but it sounds a bit like you're just making it up. Do you have a link to an example? If you do, and it supports your claim, I'll retract my suggestion that you are telling fibs.
You're quite right that not all of them "yell".
Some kind of murmur.
Change "yelling" to "whining" or "murmuring" rather repeatedly. .
Now if you go calling me an imperfect sinner for exaggerating (fibbing), well that will utterly shock me and just break my heart.
(Sorry if I don't pick up on the little smiling graphics too well. I think I'm old fashion in that skill.)

believe in suppressing knowledge?
We publish the most widely distributed journals in human history and give them to people at no cost.
The Watchtower has a circulation larger than any other magazine in the world. Each issue has a print run of more than 42 million copies. Awake! is second, with a circulation of 41 million copies each issue. Bot ...[text shortened]... chtower-awake-magazine/
Bwahahah, suppressing knowledge, Rajk sees us rollin and he hates it!
The Watchtower and higher education:
http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/higher-education-university.php
Watchtower classifies higher education as a temptation akin to smoking, using drugs, and watching violent and immoral movies. For instance, see the insert from the Watchtower 2008 Sep 1, entitled “What Will be The “End Afterward”?
The Kingdom Ministry warns:
“Your children will no doubt experience new challenges and pressures. … Are they prepared for the pressure they will receive to pursue higher education, date, and use alcohol or drugs?” Kingdom Ministry 2011 Jul p.2
Watchtower explains pursuing an advanced education is dangerous because it:
- Wastes precious time in these last days
- Promotes prestige and materialism
- Shows a lack of faith
- Involves bad association
- Promotes higher learning

The post that was quoted here has been removedCriticizing people for holding outlandish views such as supporting genocide or rape is not an interesting or stimulating pursuit. I'm not here to save the world. I'm here for intellectual stimulation and interesting discussion. Fighting the likes of Fishhead and Eladar ain't my job. Declining to do so is no indication of sympathy for their positions.

Tolerate bacteria at your peril sir, but don't complain when it spreads.

Debates is becoming boring. It's now basically a 33-33-33 split between;
