[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.
