If my reasoning is correct, one of those people putting forward the most arguments is actually Kom1. I suppose, based on a random sampling principle, you could pick any three of his posts and reach that same conclusion. The issue, however, seems to be that the opposing side isn't interested in debating actual points or looking at the subject through an anthropological lens (specifically within a historical and cultural context). Instead, Kom1 tends to face dogmatic rebuttals, with posts claiming things like, "that isn't Church doctrine," "you're talking nonsense," or "that's all unverified"... or they simply drift into off-topic tangents, ad hominem attacks, and so on. Most topics Kom1 initiates follow this pattern. As a user, Kom1 is quite peaceful; he rarely engages with the people poking at him (if I recall correctly, Morgan Rodriguez57 was the only one who managed to get under his skin enough to earn him his first red card in all these years on the site). But since Kom1 refuses to stoop to petty trolling, others accuse him of not truly interacting with users, claiming instead that he just posts "blog entries." In reality, the truth might be that he provides solid, analytical breakdowns, but there aren't many users equipped or willing to measure their own arguments against his... so they accuse him of being unwilling to dialogue. That isn't really the case. It's more that Kom1 only responds to substantive contributions. That's just my take. Best regards.
EDIT: No, Nick. Take a look at the posting rules on PZ.
