Is "boredom" a reasonable reaction to debunkings that one can't rebut?

You give Monty Python too much credit.  _Brian_ doesn't in any way represent
any kind of reasoned argument against the foibles of Christianity; all they
did was recycle a bunch of stale attacks, rephrased them as "humor", and

                             ****** PRESTO! ******

a New Monty Python Movie.  I reserve the right to be bored by this, and (just
so I can save a posting) I reserve the right to be bored by the inevitable
Rich Rosen retreaded reply.

1) Not possible.  2)  I was referring to your statement above about what you
call "silly jibes" in general as described in my article.  Does hearing such
things bore you, rather prompting you to think about answers?
