I'm chasing you Yb?

Hmmm

BTW, all Toto had to say was that he will not insert ellipses into my post, leaving out CAPITALIZED words. Too much to ask I guess. But then I don't recall Toto ever apologize for anything pertaining to me. I guess he's perfect as he always has a defense.

Well Buffman, your post is filled, typically, with one sweeping assertion after another, with no way for readers to verify them.

Quote:
The only thing I have been seeing ever since I posted corrective amplifications to your initial five quotes in the David Barton string is your demonstration of self-deluding and insensitive remarks concerning every single person who has attempted to point out the errors and inconsistencies in many of them.
The only thing you've seen is "self-deluded and insensitive remarks toward every single person." Well that isn't really true, is it?

Quote:
No matter how many times people have attempted to call your attention to your various incomplete or inaccurate citations, you refuse to acknowledge anything other than their alleged agenda to discredit you, and not your information...
I refuse to acknowledge "anything." Well that isn't true, now is it Buffman.

You know what? I've decided you just like hearing yourself make these kind of sweeping, inaccurate assertions, and we know your fans do.

Quote:
I will readily admit that I am far from perfect in my ability to view everything fairly...but not for want of the effort to do so. But "debates" do not allow for much fairness because they are designed as a win or lose venue. Fairness engenders a sincere effort to examine all, not simply two, sides of an issue.
Well you haven't examined a damn thing on the other side here have you? And if you have, you haven't said a word to anyone else about their debate tactics, have you? Why should I believe one word you are saying? And you are the one who just got done preaching about taking action as well as talking.

Be judged by your own rules Buffman. You cannot name one of mine I have not lived up to. It is not I who claimed to be a "careful researcher" and gave long patronizing, sermons fairness and integrity. Why should I be held accountable to your rules, especially when you have yet to act on half of them?

If the powers that be here don't like it, they can kick me out, but I'm done with this phony Inquisition. Doubtless it will follow me everywhere until a moderator somewhere puts a stop to it.

So Buffman. You never said. Did the chaplaincy effectively start about nine days after Franklins' speech, or no? I don't really trust Barton, you know. I'm sorry you never figured that out. It would have cut 2 pages off the thread.

Perhaps your memory is not as good as you may think it is. Care to prove that latest allegation?

I maintain that I have answered that question once already. I see no reason to do it again unless you place your public reputation on the line that I never did and are willing to make a full apology for claiming otherwise. Perhaps you overlooked it because you didn't take the appropriate time to read my post carefully.

If you don't trust Barton, why do you use his quotes? I've asked you that question on more than one occasion also. Care to prove that I haven't? Care to provide a direct answer concerning where your quotes originated...even some of those used by Federer? Care to discuss these issues in a constructive rather than confrontational manner?

If I may ~

Answer: Their hopeless credulity and tenacious ability to constantly use disingenuous misdirection as a defense for their nonsensical claims.

You asked.

Sorry. I forgot Buffman's rule that you can't use any quote Barton uses, even if it's a matter of record and you found it yourself.

How typical of you.

(I answered this before, but you did not read my post apparently)

You're right. I don't get it at all.
