#175 Chris L:
“And I stated my impressions as impressions, not as fact.”
You did? Would it be insulting of me to observe that you have a very peculiar way of stating your impressions?
I mean, here’s your #150:
“But the birth certificate issue is nothing but a raving mad conspiracy theory; like most conspiracy theories, it is impervious to evidence and reason, and will therefore be repeated ad nauseam until its proponents find something else to latch on to.”
I don’t see any modifiers or softeners in that.
No “I feel” or “I think”s. Pretty hard and concrete statements.
“Like the “9/11 Truth” supporters, this one has been blown out of the water eight ways to Sunday, but the people who promote it have first made up their mind, and then accept or deny evidence only on the basis of whether it supports or contradicts their a priori belief.”
And here again, I see no effort to equivocate. You could have tossed in an “In my opinion” somewhere, but instead you chose to make a pronouncement…and one that is patently false, as Brother Robotech Master at #181 explains.
You go on to attack their style, and dismiss their substance:
“As I’ve stated before, in my experience people who debate this way are close-minded, full of themselves, unwilling to modify their assumptions when they are shown to be untrue, and hold their own standards of interaction beyond contempt… …Regarding the birth certificate nonsense–I have reviewed the arguments in some detail, and have come to the conclusion that every judicial body who’s been presented with the same have come to: It’s bullshit.”
Okay, you won’t hear it from Col. Chuck and Brother goy, you might entertain it for a moment if I said it, but what’s your beef with Robotech Master?
He’s been strictly business towards you, and is saying essentially the same thing…that there’s something very fishy going on here.
