Interesting, Elsie also has a history of selectively quoting portions of my posts and claiming (out of context) that they constitute a contradiction. When this is pointed out it ends up somehow being my fault.

I don't think that this is either a lack of intelligence or integrity on her part. I think it is Morton's Demon in full force. Material from the "e" side of the debate is desperately scrutinized for apparent (but actually non-existent) contradictions by the Demon and the thinking parts of Elsie's brain never get a look-in to examine the real argument.

If Elsie scrutinised the Bible for apparent contradictions with the same enthusiasm that she scrutinizes our postings she'd never make it past Genesis I.

This is NEVER done to the "C" side of the debate.
