No. He
still claims on his website that he was completely unprepared for my "massive attack" on his site, even though I told him a specific time-frame for when I was going to post my rebuttal. As it was, I was a few days late because I didn't realize that Mike was going to add his own comments to the debate, but his claims of ignorance are utterly erroneous. Here's what
actually happened:
1. I decided I had had enough of DarkStar's bullshit, and decided to debunk his website.
2. I went on SD.net, and asked fellow vs. debaters (specifically asking Trekkies and Fivers to join, if they were so inclined), to help me.
3. DarkStar found out about this, declared it a "Warsie Jihad" against his website, and challenged me to debunk his website by myself.
4. I thought about it, and eventually accepted. Originally, I had intended that I would rebut the entire website, allowing everyone else to make a
separate rebuttal, but no one else bothered, so I went back on SD.net and posted that I accepted DarkStar's challenge and was going to rebut the whole of his website on my own. I also told him to expect my rebuttal in about a month.
5. I made my rebuttal, and sent it to Mike a little less than a month after I made that post.
6. About a week later, Mike posted it on the internet for all to see, replete with his own observations and additions to my original text.
7. DarkStar began his long rants about how wrong it was of me to make such a rebuttal, claiming it was a "scattergun" attack, dishonest, sneak-attack, etc. etc. etc.
8. DarkStar then floundered coming up with a rebuttal (even attacking my
freaking preface), ranted some more about how dishonest I was to do such a thing, how much I hated him, etc. etc. etc., and I decided nothing more had to be done.
9. Since then, DarkStar has launched a series of increasingly bizarre attacks against SD.net, and especially against Mike Wong (ie. "The Morality of Wong").
10. When I saw DarkStar on SB.com, after being repeatedly asked to join the site by various members (thanks go in particular to Alyeska), he claimed I was following him around the internet trying to attack him everywhere at once. We got into a debate regarding his MCR theory, and I challenged him to explain how it predicted the rings. He came up with nothing. After a few rounds, he said I was wrong and that he would update his site. I figured that since he didn't even try to make a rebuttal on SB.com, I could expect a rebuttal fairly soon (particularly since I gave him a fairly specific time-frame when he challenged me to attack his site).
When he went on posting on another vs. thread without actually debunking my claims, I asked when he was going to update his site and reminded him about his promise. He claimed that he was going to get to it, but refused to establish a time period.
11. Regardless, a few weeks passed and nothing happened. I asked DarkStar about where his rebuttal of my stupid arguments was (figuring that since my arguments and claims were so crappy they should be easy to debunk). Honestly, updating a website is a chore, but it's not
that much of a chore. Mike emended my text rebutting DarkStar's ENTIRE SITE in less than a week. Moreover, Anderson copped out of the original debate with me in part because he was allegedly tired of getting into debates about the MCR theory, and wanted to collect his thoughts in a single place (ie. the debate would take too much time, since it kept coming up).
BTW, Anderson has
also claimed that he's ALREADY addressed my criticisms of his MCR theory. If this is true, I wonder why he can't simply copy-paste the relevant text from one part of his hard-drive to another. Regardless, I am still waiting for his counter-attack (I'll be back from vacation pretty soon). And so the lines are drawn.
