1. This whine about ad hominem attacks is from the person who referred to me as “the quote butcher.” If you dish it out, you get it back in return, so man up.
2. Nobody has attempted to “wiggle out” of anything. I’ve met your arguments head on and exposed within them a combination of ignorant premises, oversimplification, distortion, dishonesty and gross errors, such as the fallacy you cling to about a “neither ... nor” phrase that I’ve shown has no impact on the core clause of the sentence.
You butchered a quote. Admit it.
You’ve tried all sorts of gimmicks to say you didn’t, including claiming it was an independent clause (it wasn’t) and claiming your point is proved elsewhere in the case. If it was proved elsewhere, why did you need to butcher the quote?
Do you plan on butchering more quotes?
Will you commit in the future to presenting quotes with all relevant parts present, instead of trimming them so they (appear to) say what you want them to say?
