To: mlo; Polarik
"You called Polarik a fraud by implication whether you admit to it or not. The fact is there for all to see."

No I did not. And this has already been detailed. The "fact" is not there for all to see because it didn't happen.

None of that equates to "fraud", which means a conscious effort to deceive.

Evidently you did not read all the meanings I posted for fraud. Synonyms count, too. 'Humbug' = fraud is the same as 'nonsense'. Your intent was obvious to me. But I will not argue this point any longer.

Birther" is a label which even some birthers have used.

That's an excuse and a rationalization. Blacks call each other n*, too, so do you parrot that?

What we are seeing here again is that some people cannot distinguish between honest disagreement and dishonesty.

Yes, but I have a very good 'distinguisher' after decades of teaching college and 18 or so years on the internet.

Notice that because you sometimes add to the discussion, I have been direct with you but not brutal.

I am also hesitant to use the t-word as often others. Especially in cases when the real problem may just be an over-reliance on Occam's Razor.
