To: DiogenesLamp; bushpilot1; edge919

It was directed more toward bushpilot1 than you, but I pinged you out of courtesy.

My point is simple. You made an error. It was an error in research, but I do not consider it to discredit everything you ever posted. I asked bushpilot1 if that error from you will be treated the same as an error from me. He hasn’t replied.

A question for you - do you see the difference between Edge919’s truncated quote and the real quote? Or will you claim no difference since he’s your co-believer against jus soli?

If someone acknowledges an error, I grant them even more credibility than I otherwise would. Liars won't bother to admit when they are wrong, but Honest people will.

To be honest, I haven't the foggiest what you are talking about. Unless it is specifically directed at me, or especially egregious, I don't always read all of a long post from one poster to another. I've seen you and he discussing "neither/nor" but I never bothered to figure out what bit of language you were both quibbling about. It just didn't seem like a very important controversy to me. Sorry. :)

But to sort of answer your question, I will call out mistakes by my allies as well as my opponents. I have argued with Patlin, Mojitojoe, Fred Nerks, et al, when I thought they were wrong. I don't think Mojitojoe has forgiven me yet.

P.S. You want more proof that I will call out Allies as well as opponents? Check out the arguments I have been having with MSimon (Libertarian) for the last several years regarding drug legalization.
