3. Mr "electric universe" has been here before

and was buried under a pile of pizza back on DU2.

It's only a matter of time before he's booted out of DU3.

5. No, it's all the written equivalent of the Gish Gallop debate technique

Overwhelm people with a page and a half long post of one bullshit idea after another and few will read it all, let alone bother to answer any of it.
