Vork, I do intend to reply to your points eventually. However I'm going away on holiday shortly and I'll see what I can do to get my hands on a copy of Eisenman too...


In the mean time, back to the regularly scheduled bickering...
You're welcome to take it as whatever you like.

That's cool. When I first started reading stuff and posting here two years ago my main reason for posting was to learn. Hopefully development in the quality of my posting over that time reflects an increasing understanding on my part.

Of course - I am capable of no thoughts myself on any matters.

Exactly.

Really... were you privy to every single comment that was ever made anywhere? Are you omniscient perhaps?


I'm intrigued to know what theists you would claim support your point here.
You've already agreed that Nomad, Layman and myself don't. Who then?
Metacrock? Bede? Ish? Kenny? Photocrat?
No...?
Amos perhaps?

You were where? Watching one particular thread? "Authenticity" of what?
I'm not talking about any one thread but making generalisations from 18 months of threads. -Most of them in the EoG forum too, not BC&A.

Of course, it's just me and my incompetence at English, my lack of understanding of basic philosophical terms, my incompetence at statistics, my incompetence at spotting fallacies or forming basic arguments and my general lack of knowledge about anything. Good that we've clarified that.
Funny though how I normally have no trouble in these areas.


<strong>Layman,</strong>
You're welcome, Mr Electronic Mentor guy.

Of course, but isn't most of what we do a waste of time if we get right down to it? The fact that this is more obviously so simply helps appreciate that fact more clearly...


<strong>Toto</strong>,
You'd prefer he told me off for attempting to have a serious discussion, would you?

And you've never done that? ...Never? ...Ever?
Of course someone as great as you would never stoop to committing the horrendous crime of <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=000913&p=" target="_blank">attacking a book you'd never read</a>!
That thread's from over a year ago and I only managed to remember it because I was heavily involved in it. How many other times have you attacked books you've never read that I don't remember or never saw?

Hold your horses. I said I hadn't studied them at all - by which I meant I hadn't read any books which delved significantly into the details of the conflicts. "never... even considered" them is taking it just a bit far: I have read summary passages on the subject, and I do occasionally read threads in this forum you know.
