TD - why do people keep responding? A query

In my total of now 4 years of exposure to rmcr there is this one
question that daily comes back into my mind.

What are the reasons for many of the esteemed contributors to this
newsgroup to keep trying to argue with Mr. Deacon or to respond to his
messages which are mostly coming in the form of decrees neither asking
for nor allowing for any answers or discussion.

In fact, I have yet to see any meaningful exchange of confliction
opinions with this member of this group.

I don't want to insult anybody, I just would like to know what makes
people keep trying.

Hope to break through the protection shield?
Anger and frustration?
Desire to get him to really share his knowledge?
Pleasure in Deacon-bashing?
Trying to keep his influence down (i.e. preventing unsuspicious people
from buying his statements)?

Well, personally I never had any exchange with him so far, and I have
to admit that I have developed some very very weird, a bit ironical
kind of sympathy for him. I have some perverse delight in reading what
he posts - but for my life I can't understand why people here keep
trying to have a meaningful conversation with him.

Remember, Moses didn't argue about the Ten Commandments either...

Now you know why I don't respond to his posts - please let me know
what drives those wo do!
