He will typically let others assail them, but usually won't take part himself. That's long been one of his more unfortunate traits as a Christian apologist: it often depends on whether or not Mark likes or admires you as to whether he will attack you or give you a pass - no matter what you say or do. I've seen him literally accuse people of his usual 'increase slaughter' rhetoric over something like the death penalty or gun control, only to praise a friend or buddy for saying the same thing. Likewise I've seen him praise openly (and potentially active) homosexuals as saints, or give kudos to comedians who advocate intrinsic evil or even blasphemous images, simply because he likes or admires them. At the same time, he will attack someone as a bigot or racist or homophobe, sommeone who may actually say what Mark has said, but Mark doesn't hold that person in regard, or know anything about the person.

No slight on John C Wright... he seems more than willing to be amicable towards people who hold different views from him. But Shea's catapulting of himself to the socio-political extreme, combined with his tendency of paroxysm when confronting dissent (even towards those he used to consider friends) makes me think he would be just as vitriolic towards Wright as he is towards Feser. <br />Tim Lambertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-6309725714338627382018-10-04T08:23:09.458-04:002018-10-04T08:23:09.458-04:00Yes, I'm reminded of Illithid from Patheos. E...Yes, I'm reminded of Illithid from Patheos. Even though he's pretty flag waving partisan, he typically engaged like an adult and tried to discuss the topic at hand. A rare exception, certainly at Patheos. But as for Mark's twitter, I felt unclean just reading it. Compared to that, I could visit his blog ten times a day.

You treasure those. Most you feel like you're arguing with toddlers who think things can be true if you scream loud enough.Nate Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630873800235819300noreply@blogger.com
