Dear Dr. Craig,

I doubt you remember me, but I sent you and email two or three years ago inviting you to join the RichardDawkins.net internet forum and take the opportunity to respond directly to criticisms that were being made there to some of your arguments. At the time, you declined the invitation saying you do not participate in internet forums. At the time, I thought this was a reasonable response and was satisfied.

However, since that time you have refused to accept what, it appears to me, is an equally reasonable refusal from Prof,. Richard Dawkins of your own invitation to debate. Despite Prof. Dawkins' having made it very clear that he is not interested in such a debate, you have continued to publicly pressure him to reverse this position, and have gone so far as to place an empty chair on stage at one of your recent appearances to symbolize his absence.

With this in mind, I want to take the opportunity to remind you of the invitation I had previously extended, and to let you know that it remains open. The Richard Dawkins forum no longer exists (It's a long story), but it has to a large extent been reconstituted at the website http://www.rationalskepticism.org, which shares a very similar format and emphasis and includes many of the same members.

In the spirit of the empty chair you have used to symbolize Richard Dawkins' refusal to debate you, I have set up virtual empty chair on the forum that symbolizes your refusal to debate the members of RationalSkepticism:

This, of course, will be withdrawn should you decide to accept my invitation.

I thank you for taking the time to read this. I ask your permission to post, in full, your reply to this email or, if you prefer, to at least to inform members of the gist of any such reply.
