And yet, when you realized you'd be leaving on note of utter defeat, something apparently suggested you should give it another go. Do you feel you always need to leave on a high note for yourself? Too bad the real world evidence doesn't allow your counterfeit interpretations to stand.
From the brilliant butterdezillion: "You parse things that don’t matter and ignore the things [that] do. And the whole point is to waste [our] time because [we] can’t possibly correct all your crap and still have a life."
So now you're not over and out," right, Fred?
Somehow you found something else about which you thought you could niggle to fritter to waste more time. Your side has the endless amounts of dollars to pay for your time as well as that of 4Zoltan, HG and others. Meanwhile we get your ridicule suggesting we should give away our books.
Even if you mindlessly don't take pay for your denigrating insults, it's clear you guys don't manifest a heart of a conservative between you (as a variant of desperation the Graeae showed after losing their common possession).
Your conjectures-trying-for-thesis-status have been quashed by reality, yet you never admit any such thing. As another perspective on what I said earlier, you're in no way interested in progressing toward truth. Your only desire is to find something--desperately anything--sharp to be used as a shiv. So the current manifestation is a litany of things you consider were vaguely represented in the past. But you're not interested in the truth about such things. You merely wish to find something to be as a cudgel (OK, maybe a shiv).
That's no way to go through life, is it? Sorry, but you're just not going to wear us down with such a disingenuous strategy and behavior. We'd much much rather spend our energies with people for whom truth really matters, so they can be on the side where that is always prized.
That silly statement just shows how far off the planet you are. I don't have a side, no one is paying me, I'm an Australian, an individual, I have eyes and absolutely no agenda other than to try and show WHAT I SEE.

I suggest that when you find where that is, somewhere where no one asks questions, GO THERE.
After doing Christian apologetics with atheists and agnostics for a while, I was at a social function with a former college friend who is a professor of antiquities at a university. I asked him about the “the New Testament is a myth” theory and he gaped at me as if I had a hole in my head. He said real academics discarded that a long, long time ago because there is simply too much evidence that refutes it - evidence that the Gospels were written much too early to be the result of legends or myths.
But the arm-chair warriors never got the memo. They were still barking down dead alleys because they were never really interested in the evidence, just in beating down the Bible however they could.
Not saying all are like that - in fact, there was one who did seem interested in evidence, and several became friends with me and I’ve prayed for them since they say they want to believe but just can’t. But those who have an axe to grind, for whatever reason, are the slowest to come to terms with the evidence. And that fits a lot of Freepers lately. They have no idea how it looks to those with no axe to grind - no idea that their slip is showing.
One posting here basically keeps saying that he is on a personal vendetta to prove me an idiot. Doesn’t care much about the subject, just wants the world to know that I personally would NEVER have anything of value to give the world. His stated mission is to destroy me - keep anyone from ever believing me. What kind of person is like that? You talk about the politics of personal destruction; this “conservative” poster brags that it’s all he’s about in regards to anything I say. How does a person not see that such a personal vendetta is not only ugly, but contaminates any substance he would contribute (if he ever tries contributing substance, which he doesn’t)?
But that is the mentality of the deep state. If anybody poses a threat you have to DESTROY them. Every dig you give has to go for the jugular - play on every inner fear they might have, defame credibility at any cost and so stink up the place that any potential defenders give up and leave and it appears that everybody agrees with the psy-op. The mission is to destroy a person who knows too much. That’s what the sock-puppets are for. Wolves running in a pack trying to encircle their prey.
It’s ugly. It’s non-evidence-based. And it’s right here, right now.
