because so far he has mostly presented slogans, rather than arguments.
Yes, I asked for clarification of the slogans and got more slogans, and asked for arguments supporting the claims and was given the claims again. I decided at that point to disengage.
Now weren’t those subtle strawmen? :)
Indeed—I hadn’t bothered to check out the site, but it seems to me that most of the discipline of Philosophy falls outside “CR”’s “three major schools”, and they’re pretending Popper invented philosophy. It’s really quite terrible.
If I may use another “slogan”: communication is difficult. And another: misunderstandings are common. When you asked for clarification I wasn’t sure what you wanted. I guessed and looks like I got it wrong. So you just withdraw? That’s very Un-Popperian.
It is a reasonable interpretation of the “three major schools” analysis down near the bottom of the “What is CR” page at the “Critical Rationalism” website. See if you can talk someone into cleaning up that bit of enthusiasm. As they say “It’s not helping”.

Really? Care to give a quote?
