Yes. That whooshing sound was it going right over your head.
You do know what an "Ad Hominem" is, don't you?
If Ed Hale offered any evidence whatsoever, I would focus on that. But like his story of killing two bigfoot monsters in the 1970s, there's nothing to back it up. Right now, his record of phony and unbelievable stories is all I have to go on in determining his credibility.
Again, this wasn't a clue that Ed Hale is not needed for the credibility he may bring?
