I couldn't have been talking about Heidelberg because there's no cathedral there.

The web guide says there is. You say there isn't. You have no credibility. The web guide does. Where you contradict the web guide, I'll believe it before you.

You tried to be smart, but you blew it.

I tried to be thorough. You "defeated" me by quibbling over terms, and by asserting your opinion as though it is fact. As I said, I'll take the web guide's word over yours.

I thought of it as a possibility, but rejected it because of your previous bone-headedness.

You shouldn't have.

I don't really care about my credibility with a person who doesn't know his history or geography.

Your assertion that you attended 9/11 services and that you know diddly squat about Heidelberg or any other German word depends entirely upon your credibility. I could easily dismiss your arguments by simply refusing to believe them. When you demonstrate the paucity of knowledge you have, I am well within my rights to do so.

Is that ignorance again, or are you talking about Hardy?

I wasn't talking about Hardy. I was using the title of one of his novels as a convenient phrase to show my contempt for your claims about living in Heidelberg.

Even you should be able to comprehend how far this thread has drifted from its original purpose, and how meager the bickering has become. Since no real light has been shed on any aspect of this discussion for the last 100 posts or so, why don't we just let this die a natural death?

You put your credibility in the wrong place. Look at what the city of Heidelberg says. Since you obviously can't read German, you're looking for the word "Dom," and in the context of Heidelberg having a cathedral, you're specifically looking for "Heidelberger Dom." See it there? I didn't think so.

As I said, I'll take the web guide's word over yours.

And you'll be wrong, as usual. Did the guide mention the best spot for a view of the town, the klosterruine, the amphitheater? How about a current guide, which might show the second Heidelberg Druckmaschine building across from the Hauptbahnhof, but I know it was a Bundespost building until a few years ago. Did you know the PX is across the tracks from the Hauptbahnhof? Find the location known to the American locals as the "End of the World." As far as Worms, tell me what a common special is at the Sportsplatz Gasthaus between Rheindürkheim and Ibersheim. Go ahead, verify if you have the ability.

I could easily dismiss your arguments by simply refusing to believe them. When you demonstrate the paucity of knowledge you have, I am well within my rights to do so.

Sie glauben, daß ich keine Glaubwürdigkeit habe, Pappnase? Learn German and read for yourself, after you've researched the above questions.
