The content he posts is challenging and hard for people to deal with, AND you couldn't really do it justice any other way, AND doing it this way ensures they don't have to deal with it but can instead bitch about their worn out scroll button. Catch-22.

I'll blame 90% of it on my own unrepentant laziness, but as for the other 10%...
Sometimes host's multipage sources just don't bear any significant relevance to the topic at hand. Sometimes I'll take the time to peruse what he's posted and I'll come up empty-handed. I'll cite that Haggard-themed post of months ago - and I'll search it up if you want - where his lengthy reply to me didn't actually address my argument whatsoever.
Again, it's mainly laziness... but it's also a not entirely unreasonable fear of wasted time. I don't buy it - I think increased brevity could do
more justice to his posts in at
least a few cases.

Why post in the discussions if you consider them impossible? Is there a reason, other than trolling, that I'm not seeing?
