In an ongoing debate with the same people on a forum where it's possible to go back and read posts, it shouldn't be necessary to make the same points over and over again as long as they're somewhat understandably articulated the first time.
To respond to large posts in a least effort way by not acknowledging any of the points made, but just taking easy one-liner stabs and comments in a way that makes the opposition have to articulate any point over and over again is a pretty common way of trying to lead discussions on the net, usually by frustrating or tiring out the opposition who ends up having to do all the work. Perhaps I was wrong, but it looked to me like that was what you were doing.
