you make a good point and sullivan provides a flimsy retort...
he takes refuge in the notion that "debate exposes flimsy ideas"... still just doesn't get that it also legitimizes crank views...
i would have appreciated if he was more honest and simply admitted that debating a non-issue like ID is mostly good for positioning an increasingly irrelevant andrew sullivan in the eyes of anyone bothering to listen...

Way to go!
I'm all for open debates. I (and Ralph Nader) wish we had more of them. ;)
Congratulations! I'm actually not sure where I stand on the issue of debating, so I appreciate reading your "debate" with Sullivan on the issue.
I think you make a good point too. Debates are always good imo.
