The only JP debates I watched fully were the Dillahunty and Zizek ones, and my speculation is that after those, in which he got humiliated in both, he developed a tactic of never taking a stance on things or attacking semantics to avoid ever getting humiliated again.
God he was such a clown in both those. It was clear in the Zizek debate he hadn’t even read the communist manifesto. Dillahunty was just painful because Peterson was like an angry toddler by comparison.
I used to listen to Dillahunty on the Atheist Experience debate callers. This was a public access show in Texas. To say he’s an experience debater on the topic is a massive understatement. I did not watch the entire debate he did with JP because I knew he was going to walk all over him. I’ve heard JPs rhetoric on the subject and it’s amateur at best. I think even a worm like Tom Leykis could have wrecked JP in that one. At least he has that funny line, “I don’t know and you don’t either.”

Me too. It’s shameful how they pushed him out when he’s the one who built the show into what it was. The guy had a lot of bangers. One quote that has stuck with me is “Religious people have better morals than their religion.”
I forget what call it was, but some guy was all “Oh so you think you’re some kind of genius so your opinion is better than mine?”
Dillahunty: “I am a genius but that’s irrelevant to the argument I’m making.”
