no attempt to refute his data

What sets people off more than anything else is the hijacking of this and other threads from whatever topic is being discussed to LT's peculiar agenda. You could start a thread over on the "Religion" forum and post up a storm about the "British Israelites" and nobody would would say boo. But it is barging into threads where people are discussing current events and changing the topic. It is not from having inadequate data to be able to refute your hypotheses (it's quite easily done) but THAT IS NOT THE TOPIC BEING DISCUSSED HERE.

This is my absolute, penultimate post on the topic of "LostTribe's" agenda which has absolutely nothing whatever to do with this thread or any other thread in the News/Activism forum.

British Israelism debunked here and here and here and here and here.

Nobody can "change the topic".  FReepers talk about what they want to talk about.

A review of my posts over the years will show that my comments on the subject of The Lost Tribes of Israel and related topics have always come in response to something someone said on that thread which was in conflict with historic truth. That activity simply does not meet the definition of "barging into a thread ... and changing the topic".

Talk is cheap. Put your money where your mouth is.  And say it in YOUR OWN WORDS, not something you have hacked from some other site.

I'd have to ask, what people, other than you and a few others? I'm not sure how you apply "hijack". Other people are still able to post on the thread, no? I'ts been pointed out to you before that the major part of FR posting is in response to something allegedly inaccurate someone else posted. I'll ask again, how is this any different? I've asked it of you more than once and haven't recieved an answer.

You keep bearing down on the "British Israelis", as if you mean to try demonizing historical data, an interpretation of which they use in part. I'll ask again,if a nut organization uses it's interpretation of historical data (from the translation of actual inscriptions for the time period in question, plus corrobrating passages from the Bible) for it's own ends, does the this mean that the data is ipso facto invalid? This same organization says that communism is bad. Does the fact they that mean communism is good?

I've asked you that more than once, too, and have gotten no answer. The only conclusion I can come to is that you have no alternate theory to contradict that information and the implications of the information threatens you somehow so that you try any dark and discredible tactic you can to avoid facing it.

Sorry for the cynical statement. Maybe you can suggest any other conclusion I can make from your past and present comments?

As for threads on another forum, the innaccurate ideas are expressed on this one and so the appropriate place to offer contrary information is on this one.
