Hi LOR guys. I have a proposition for you ( but since I'm quite new here, it may have been up for discussion a gazillion times and rejected without me knowing): why don't some of you splendid guys make a Reason101 page along with the LOR rules. Ten bullet points where you explain what a proof may be and why there should be some of that if somebody is making extraordinary claims, some of the great pitfalls of discussion and debate, and so on. Like this poor sod you are wrestling with here: he is either a troll or he has absolutely no clue whatsoever of what proof is, what it means and why there should be any. He will absolutely not be enlightened by this discussion... there is absolutely no hope in sight.
I must admit it is great fun to read, but it is also painful and it seem to me a waste of time. If you continue debating because it is fun then I beg forgiveness for misunderstanding and I'll be on my way. But if this type of discussion is "slightly amusing, but mostly painful" (Ford Fairlane) then you could simply say: " we refer to the Reason101 page, paragraph 3, line 5 which says: A proof is..... You have made an error of reason, therefore we will not discuss this matter with you anymore before you show that you have read and understood Reason101 page, paragraph 3, line 5".
Probably no Nobel prize for me for this one, but I have to try.
