In your post 1318 you named me as Creationist.

In my post 1339 I asked you for evidence that I have ever posted in support of the Creationist argument. For well over 24 hours you refused to meet my challenge.

In your post 1532 you made the following statement:

but then I noticed it on a thread I had up because I was documenting your own "behind the back" posts (see above), and lo and behold, there it was.

I will take you at your word for the reason your were reading my back posts. But by your own logic, your "bluster" tells us otherwise, doesn't it. It appears that you've read posts of mine as far back as May, as I indicated earlier. Even if you were looking for posts by me behind someone's back, I doubt you would have missed the ones where I posted support for the Creationist argument.

In your post 1751 you gave us this pearl:

you're still playing coy, I *don't* understand. Why not just be an adult for a change, instead of continuing to play your childish taunt/evade/taunt/evade games? Hey, here's my research, bucko -- I'm *asking* you.


This is the logically fallacy of suppressed evidence. You clearly knew that I had not made the posts you were sent to find, but you purposely tried to mislead the readers to the benefit of your agrument. One of the most shameless techniques you've invoked so far. How often do you make these "honest mistakes" in your research papers and other posts to these threads?

You've made numerous comments in your diatribes to me about "being an adult", "a role model to my children", etc.

Well now is the time for you to prove you are more than simply a troll. Step up to the plate and practice what you preach. Admit error, make an apology, and be the man you want to be and challenge others to be. Be the true role model and justify the respect you command from those who hang on your every word. Otherwise you'll be just one of those names you called me many times in an effort to discredit me instead of my arguments.

[you're still playing coy, I *don't* understand. Why not just be an adult for a change, instead of continuing to play your childish taunt/evade/taunt/evade games? Hey, here's my research, bucko -- I'm *asking* you.]

This is the logically fallacy of suppressed evidence.

No, that's you being coy and evasive again, dodging a plain and simple question so that instead of furthering the conversation, you have a cheap excuse to play more puerile games. The only one here withholding relevant evidence, is *you*, when you refuse to answer direct questions.

All the rest of your scattershot insults and blather are merely padding and distraction and gameplaying.

If you're not going to answer a plain question, then you have no right to be offended when I have no option but to continue to draw my own conclusions about the answer, and I have nothing to "apologize" for.

If you can't grasp even that, then you're way out of your league on these discussions, much less in your struggling attempts to outwit us "elitist egg-heads" (your words) by being so clever as to, well, act like a petulant child. It's not working, and you're not impressing anyone by it, except perhaps yourself.

From your various posts over the past months, you've made it quite clear that you have an enormous chip on your shoulder regarding those you see as "elitist egg-heads", and as a result you pick fights in order to try to "show them up" in some way.

All you show instead is your own emotional issues and your own inability to prevail in a direct test of wits or knowledge, so you substitute trying to "win" by scoring "points" in peurile rhetorical games only you care anything about. For example, if you can act pigheaded enough that someone says something derogatory about you, you score yourself a "point" by having "proven" that the egg-head isn't as completely objective as (you presume) he thinks he is, etc. You've played that particular game on a number of threads. If that's what it takes to stroke your own ego, and assuage your obvious animosity towards "egg-heads", then that's pretty pathetic.

So here we are all these pages later. You've posted the standard "I see no evidence; I understand no evidence and you'll never ever ever make me; Ooooh you evos are such meanies!" creationist claptrap without stop for all that time.
