I may be able to respond to your posts only once every day or two due to personal circumstances (workload, stuff at home, etc). If that's acceptable to you, then I accept.
Sure, although it's amusing to hear that, as i get lots of grief for limiting my participation.
First of all, you wouldn't get any grief for limiting your participation if you would simply say, "OK, there's ten of you and one of me. I need to slow down for a minute and catch my breath." We would respect that. All of us here (including me) have participated in debates in which we were badly outnumbered. We know how overwhelming it can be.
Second, though, and more importantly: you're asking for a formal, one-on-one debate, which is different in several important ways from a time management point of view (I have quite a bit more going on in my life than WWGHA).
If you say something that I've heard and refuted a thousand times before (which is likely; trust me, I've been doing this for decades), I can't just roll my eyes and decide to wait for someone else to deal with it, as I often do in standard threads. I have to handle it myself. This takes additional time, especially inasmuch as I haven't gotten around to writing up stock response to those points that I can copy and paste.
Related to that, a one-on-one debate is likely to entail significantly more research on my part in generating a response, especially since, while I'm generally familiar with the content, I've never actually read Job.
I would hope that fair warning given in advance about a particular circumstance would be treated with some respect. If you know what's coming, you know what to expect.
Anyway. PM screwtape when you're ready, Black Knight, and we'll have at each other.
