Since you have thus far resisted any inclination to provide or clarify your own definition of omniscience for the sake of this discussion, I've been keeping things open and providing various interpretations (E.G scaled up version of common knowledge or a mystical/atemporal knowledge) and then going on to demonstrate (or attempt, anyway, I'm sorry if it confused you.) that in any case free will is not precluded by omniscience alone.
To not craft your argument to fit the definitions (or to craft an argument in the absence of definitions) is an exercise in meaninglessness (or mental masturbation). There can be no understanding if we do not explain what we mean by the words we use.

Based on this and your subsequent post, I take it you're bowing out of the discussion? Up until you lapsed into bald assertions, appeals to popularity, and ad hominem it was actually interesting. If you ever wish to resume presenting substance for your stance, feel free.
