Certainly I do.

Everything I have posted has been backed up with 100% documentation.

There's no challenging the certainty of a fool. He's absolutely convinced that what he thinks is correct, BECAUSE he thinks it's correct.

He thinks his position is "backed up" because he takes selective misquotes, out of context quotes, and truncated meanings which support his position in his own mind, and he then assumes everyone else possess the same sort of selective blindness that he does. His argument's look sensible to him, because he has trained himself to look past anything which does not fit his preconceived notions.

Again, he possesses the certainty of a fool. (And the methodology of one.)

That's a good description of what you've done.
