Fair point.
Rather than more posts, I should have stated more topics. Even if they don't generate that much interest, it's worthwhile exposure to a contrary point of view. I just don't have any interest in believing or repeating invalid arguments or shoddy evidence, whether they be Armstrong's, Lifton's, Lane's, Garrison's, or Parker's. In mainstream academia, you need to see other professionals confirm or refute the research of others. If some of the Armstrong evidence is hashed out here at DPF and a few supporting arguments from a thousand page book are thrown out, aren't we all the better for it?
The difference is Mitchell, I welcome and acknowledge errors. Even these threads will cause me to do some slight rewriting for any future editions of my book and If you go to my own forum, you can find posts where I have made addenda correcting errors.
I did come here in peace, though most definitely not prepared to take any crap, as has happened in previous attempts to engage on the H & L evidence. My first post should have signaled that. It was a polite request to help me understand certain terms used by David. For that, I was attacked by Hargrove and Joseph - and yes, I did hit back in kind. But while Bob whines about what I have said, he conveniently forgets what has been dished out to me here. Josephs went so far as to attack someone not even involved in this, simply because of his association with me. Anythony Thorne was attacked for the sin of trying to calm the waters.
The only time these people want to discuss the evidence is when they think they have found something to counter what I have. When they have nothing, they fall back into every underhanded debating tactic you can think of and then invent more. Since my first post, the whole focus has been on either getting me to lose my cool badly enough to get kicked off, or for me to simply leave.
