Free will- To choose or not to choose, is that the question?

-
I have been reading and watching people who say the there isn't any free will and/ or that free will is an illusion. Their argument appears contrived and it doesn't follow from what they say. And to me it's as if someone is making a big fuss out of nothing. So from the beginning we see:

 Wikipedia has:
Free will is the ability of agents to make choices unimpeded by certain prevailing factors.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has:
“Free Will” is a philosophical term of art for a particular sort of capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives.
 If that is what they are talking about then it seems obvious to me that, free will, if you can deny it exists, you have it.

    Chubs, you have a gift for getting things wrong. I liked your moan about atheists at Christmas, what with you being Muslim and all...

    Richie, you have a gift for bullshit. And I love your ignorance about Muslims and all.

    (Note that Richie doesn't say what I got wrong. And he has a very poor record of successfully supporting his claims- pretty much 0 for forever)

    Did I get that wrong, Richie?

    Is that wrong?

    And to me it's as if someone is making a big fuss out of nothing. So from the beginning we see:

    Wrong? The references- wrong?

    Or is it my closing sarcasm that you think is wrong?

    Do tell...

    You still haven't answered the question:

    In your approach to cardinal numbers, N being the cardinal associated with the integers if, as you claim,

    N/2, N/4, N/8, N/16 . . .

    is a decreasing sequence of infinite cardinals with a lower bound LB then is LB the smallest infinite cardinal number?

    Yes or no?

    You're making a claim, you have to defend it or retreat. Not answering is retreating.
