Why does Keen refuse to debate?

Keens idea of a debate is for him to answer lots of questions, many of which are simplistic or badly worded, for which he wants yes/no, or true/false responses, which often make no sense, and then he refuses or is very reluctant to answer questions put to him. He accompanies his questions with abuse and ridicule.
No one else, I have ever encountered, behaves the way he does. I have tried to have normal, back and forth, points raised and countered, questions asked and answered debate with him, but it does not work.
Why is he like that? I think it is because he is scared to debate in a standard way, as he knows how quickly he will end up out of his depth and looking stupid. He reads others debating in the standard way and he knows he cannot keep up. Plus, he is a bully, who enjoys abusing others.
