Tell you what: I'll explain what you ask right after you explain why a
newspaper's ombudsman publishing public corrections of errors is "bad".

I disagree with this approach. toopid veers off-topic too much as it is.

Nonsequitur is as nonsequitur does.

Indeed.

Why not simply point out to him that you have to apply logic to form
good policy, and that what seems like a good idea at a certain point in
history (e.g. slavery or banning gay marriage) is not necessarily in
the long-term best interests of the nation or its people?

How has that approach worked out for you? ;-)

I note that when faced with logic, and when toopid gets backed into a
corner, he tends to get defensive and then he disappears for a while.

So I call that success...;-)

As you can see, toopid is already careening all over the place. Is an
inability to stay focused a symptom of Asperger's, or is it just plain
old stupidity?

The Asperger's sufferers I know are completely unaware when somebody else is
laughing at them.

That seems to fit, so it must just be a symptom.
