FR's administrators are under no obligation to force me to abide by your selectively applied and inconsistent sourcing demands, zimmy. Most sane people here can read the post where I calculated the 57,000 number and conclude that it is an accurate representation of historical fact. If you choose not to you are free to challenge the numbers and make your case. I don't take orders from you though, nor do you have the right to force me to accept your position.

I'll also constructively caution you against going down the frivolous "abuse button" route again, noting that it only results in nothing good for anyone involved, yourself included. The last time you tried it you ended up getting all three of us temporarily suspended for fueding plus getting yourself banned for the better part of the week.

One reason why I never asked them to.

You gave some numbers and made some calculations. If you want people to believe that you did not simply fabricate those numbers, it should be easy for you to cite the pages on the books in which you claim to have found them.

I'll also constructively caution you against going down the frivolous "abuse button" route again, noting that it only results in nothing good for anyone involved, yourself included.

I'll alert the moderators to abuse when it occurs. Your insulting and baseless allegations are not "constructive" for the tone of this forum or this debate. And it reflects poorly on you that you prefer to resort to ad hominem attacks rather than provide the page numbers I had asked for from the books you clearly claim to have read.

The last time you tried it you ended up getting all three of us temporarily suspended for fueding plus getting yourself banned for the better part of the week.

I was out of town and wasn't posting to FR. If you have some evidence that I was banned, please provide it. Otherwise, keep your allegations to yourself.

Furthermore, there is nothing "selectively applied" or "inconsistent" in my request for a more complete citation. You have demonstrated your willingness to play with numbers ("rounding up" to support your argument) and this should cause any clearheaded person to be skeptical about a long post of numbers, especially one that assumes a direct correspondence between "Arabs" and "Muslims."
