lol

I didn't even realize that this AS person was a woman until this. I read AS's response to Abe and it's full of virtrol. Your posts, as well, are full of virtrol. Abe seems to be responding in a polite, controlled manner.

Maybe you should drop the martyr/misogyny card and people might take your posts more seriously. Just a suggestion; feel free to ignore it.
I'm still waiting for Dave to provide us with his evidence for his claim that AS reads 12 languages.

ApostateAbe,

Earlier you falsely accused me of knowing her personally. I figured here you were accusing me of working for her - I wouldn't put it past you since you constantly toss around accusations left & right without EVER taking responsibility for them or being held accountable. My point was I wouldn't send you a book of my own and I wouldn't send you a book of hers even if I could.

I can see why you might say that here but you don't know the history here obviously. ApostateAbe has been trashing Acharya for years & he hasn't ever really studied her work and even after he's proven wrong he continues on like fundamentalist repeating the same nonsense, refusing to make any necessary adjustments. That's why got reamed - just like he deserved. When it comes to Acharya's work ApostateAbe is not to be trusted at all. Same with Jeffrey Gibson, GakuseiDon, Roger Pearse & others - none of them have actually read her work but they pretend to be experts on it nevertheless.

If you knew her work at all you'd already know the answer to that question. So, ever time you ask it just demonstrates how little you know about her or her work, so thanks for that one.

That may be the case -- but I was asking you about your claim. And if anyone doesn't seem to know anything on this point, it's you. Otherwise why continuously refuse, particularly in the way you do, to give the answer to something you claim you know?

In any case, I've now had the opportunity of looking at AS's "work". The only language she actually reads (= has any competency in) is English. She demonstrates no capability whatsoever for translating Greek, Latin, Egyptian, Biblical Hebrew or any other ancient language. And she shows not facility for reading French or German or Italian, but instead wholly relies on others' translations of works written in these languages for knowing what these works actually say.


But perhaps these are not the languages you claimed she had competency in. Perhaps you were claiming that she reads Urdu or Chinese or Japanese ...

A lot of these people have the same sort of response to Earl Doherty's work. That doesn't make them misandrists.

LMAO! Just more of your same typical falsehoods concerning AS's work Jeffrey, and why I choose to ignore you. You act like a fundamentalist Christian. An adult conversation about her work is impossible with you and several others here at BC & H which is why I originally tried to post this in a different section of the forum hoping for an adult conversation.

There are many others who notice:

Quote:
"D.M. Murdock/Acharya S, like all authors on controversial subjects, has many critics. But they all share one commonality: They don't know what they're talking about. Murdock understands many languages and has a breadth of knowledge her critics cannot match. This fact irks the uninformed. Having given a fair hearing to some of her online detractors and their "rebuttal" videos, I have detected not only a lack of knowledge on the part of her critics, but also, in some cases, a thinly disguised misogyny."

In other words you not only cannot back up your claim, but you have not been telling the truth when you have made it. I thought as much. Thanks for proving it.
