Why do trained Apologists cut and run?

[postroad]

It seems our learned friend is suddenly known only as "Deleted"?

Surely such a distinguished author and spiritual leader should be able to hold his own?

One would think that he would be proud to at least have left his name as a testimony of his defence of the faith?

Can't say. 'Deleted' just seemed to pop out of nowhere.

I enjoyed and found him frustrating at the same time.

There wasn't any reason for him to be banned? I can't think of any at all.

Your post needs some context. Who are you talking about, and what makes you think he represents all "trained Apologists"?

He was known as mrhagerty here. He gave a link to his most popular book.

I may have overstepped by lumping all Apologists together. It seems to me that the people who make their living at it will not stick around sites that they do not control and minimize the evidence of their presence after leaving public ones

I have engaged a few over the years but have found they don't respond favoubly to my style of debate.

Okay. Recall that I asked, 'Who are you talking about, and what makes you think he represents all "trained Apologists"'?

You identifed the person in question (thank you), but you still haven't explained why I should think he fairly represents trained apologists.

Besides, if it has yet to be confirmed why his account is marked as deleted, it may be that he did not in fact "cut and run."

Again I may have overstated based solely on my personal experience. My experience indicates they prefer a forum in which they can control the content. Again I reiterate that Im referencing professional individuals who make s living at it.


In a case in which they do engage in an outside of their influence forum they rarely reveal their identity and will in my own experience leave quickly if confronted with a skeptic who is able to engage textualy from the Bible.

I found no reason for him to have been banned. i haven't seen the term Deleted and all links to posts disappear on this site.

That's a fair enough observation to make, I guess, assuming it's true.

And sorry for jumping the gun there. I only saw your post #6 after hitting the "submit" button for my own post #7.

No problem whatsoever. It's good I was forced to give context.
