Really? Where, exactly, do you imagine he asserted such a thing?

See post 955, where young Generally made the following comment...

"See, that has nothing to do with the theory - it doesn't refute it, invalidate it, or even really comment on it. I realize that personal slanders and ad hominem attacks are pretty much the order of the day back there in the Religion forum, but you're out of the gutter now - try to elevate your discourse just a bit."

As I said, I've heard about the caterwalling that went on in the evo threads, and you have not disappointed.

May God bless you all richly and as quickly as possible.

ERRRNNTT!! Sorry, you're not allowed to "move the goalposts" in the middle of the game.

Let's set the Wayback Machine to your post #1004, shall we? You wrote:

And yet it was you [general_re] who pouted that "ad hominem attacks" were being flung at you. More transference.
I have highlighted the key words in red. You accused general_re of "pouting" that someone had flung ad hominem attacks AT GENERAL_RE. Thus my raised eyebrows, and my question to you in my post #1033:
Really? Where, exactly, do you imagine he asserted such a thing?
And now you offer, as "support" for your claim that general_re had "pouted" about ad hominems directed at *him*, his post #955:
"See, that has nothing to do with the theory - it doesn't refute it, invalidate it, or even really comment on it. I realize that personal slanders and ad hominem attacks are pretty much the order of the day back there in the Religion forum, but you're out of the gutter now - try to elevate your discourse just a bit."
Nowhere in that post does he assert that the ad hominems were directed at *him*. Nor does he appear to be "pouting" in any way -- on the contrary, he is expressing impatience at your cheap sophistry. And even a schoolchild could determine (by reading for context the post #947 of yours to which he was responding), that general_re was clearly referring to your ad hominems against *WALLACE* et al.

So I must again repeat the question -- is English really your first language? Because you seem so poor at comprehending it.

As I said, I've heard about the caterwalling that went on in the evo threads,

...and wanted to add to it, obviously...

and you have not disappointed.

Why thank you. Unfortunately, you have disappointed quit a bit.

FOFL, so Eckleburg, have you figured out that the level of intelligence that you're dealing with here is about second year of high school level? They can't get beyond it, either in intellectual achievement or in flatulence jokes. It's like poking into a nest of demented flapdoodlebugs
