When you stop listening to, acknowledging and debating the points of your opposites, you've lost. Always. I can think of no exceptions.
THERE WILL BE NO DEBATE.

Not true. Having been raised a Catholic by Brothers of the Holy Cross, the fine brothers that founded and run Notre Dame University, they teach critical thinking, questioning authority, and debate. I met many people from St. Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, who are also extreme critical thinkers. There was no shortage of debate about the many decisions from Vatican I to the Council of Nicea and the affect on the modern Roman Catholic Church.
I'm going to make a simple assumption that they just got tired of trolls, plain and simple.
