I'm not even on the official Discord so I can't even have issues with this guy outside this forum. You're right that this argument is getting nowhere but it's a fact that it should've ended a long time ago and required intervention much earlier compared to now. This situation only ended up like this because it remained unchecked.
I even (humorously) reported my own post way back to try to attract the attention of any staff member that came online so that some kind of intervention would take place as the same scenario now happened at that time too and had been since then. It didn't happen then despite it being necessary.

I was responding to the counterarguments, albeit flawed, to my own points. The entire overarching subject of my posts was about my point I made in response to the OP. If you think it was off course, you didn't read the bigger picture correctly or maybe you just simply didn't get the purpose of my counterarguments and why they are the way they are.
Of course, it doesn't help nor is it again my problem when my opponent puts the discussion to a screeching halt by repeating the same things I countered over and over again. Even my attempts to progress this discussion ended up circling back to answer the repetition thrown at me. That wasn't in my control; this topic deviated into something else and I kept my answers reined in within the boundaries of the topic with my original point in mind while specifically targeting the counterarguments presented to me as anyone in a typical debate would do and as I've always have in this style.

To quote myself from 5 days ago:

I was already prepared to move on for 5 days now; jdc felt the need to try to prove me wrong at every step for some reason.
I'm not going to pollute my PMs just because of him. I already countered all of his arguments and won the debate already a long time ago, so there's no reason to keep going other than for entertainment.
Also, it was a mistake to not lock this topic. Say what you want about letting people chime in on the topic but anyone that wanted to do so would've done so already. Nobody was waiting until I was done arguing to write a post.
One more thing:

If this topic is already currently what it is then it's not in progress of becoming what it is. That warning isn't valid on that ground.
