It looks like Till is the one dining on chicken livers.  I agreed to
debate him (even though I said that I wouldn't) because some asked me to
go ahead and do it.  I even dropped off of Till's list so he could put
the negotiations on his list like he wanted.  Now, he seems to have
decided that he doesn't want to debate me.  In another post (one to his
list) he stated that he would immediately begin looking for another
Christian to take my place.  On this list he has asked Lenny Santee to
take my place.  So the big question is:  Farrell are you saying that you
will no longer debate me now?  Answer please!

Who is dining on chicken livers now?

TILL
Jerry, you well know that I have already sent to you and the lists a message
stating that when you left the list in a huff, I had assumed that you had
taken your marbles and gone home.  I am afraid of debating you about as much
as I am afraid that I will spend eternity in hell.  Send your proposal.  I
will read it, post it to the list, and I will send my response to you and
the list.  Understand, however, that this is a debate between two parties,
and I will insist that this not be just a one-way street where you make all
of the major decisions.  I have explained how that I don't have to deal with
that kind of attitude in order to find someone who will debate, so if you
are so desperate to get me before an audience of atheists so that you can
humiliate me, send a proposal that demonstrates a willingness to negotiate
in good faith and you will get your opportunity.  About the only thing I
will insist on in format is that it contain some provision that will prevent
the spreading tactic that is commonly used by fundamentalist debaters.
