 Re: Dale tries valiantly to save his life's work by reframing the debate
Author: Martin 
Date:   02-03-10 09:42

Mr. Broadhurst keeps desperately trying to trick me into playing his childish game by demanding, for the umpteenth time, that I provide an alternative scenario to his purely anecdotal fable. Here's another of his attempts:

Quote:

>you really, really need to stop advocating for the "Manuscript Found"

OK -- what is the first step to be taken, in such a change?

Do you have suggestions for new (or altered) web material
on this subject?

Since very, very few people will ever read this message board thread,
where would you want your own views better articulated, for a wider
audience of readers?

UD
I grow weary of rebuffing your anti-logical ploys, which I've replied to again and again. So this time I'll provide links instead:

Dale & marg DEMAND I reverse the Burden of Proof!

Re: Dale & marg DEMAND I reverse the Burden of Proof!

Dale yet again(!) DEMANDS me to provide an alternative!

Dale asks "What evidence"?

Dale again DEMANDS me to provide an alternative!


Mr. Broadhurst, I don't give a fetid dingo's kidneys that very, very few will read my posts here. I do not have the kind of ego problem you evidence in trying to prove to the rest of the world that your infantile anecdotal fantasies are not infantile anecdotal fantasies after all. I've got other matters -- including making pterodactyls out of Kleenex -- that are far more valuable to me than becoming so base and credulous as to make an effort to become as cravenly egotistic as yourself. You take pride in your life's work of tying to destroy Mormonism. Need I point out that you've failed far, far worse than Fawn Brodie did, given that you could have availed yourself of 21'st century scientific evidentiary tools that she could not have done in her time?

Most here will tell you I'm more than egotistical enough already; why should I strive for worse?

Posting on your credulous sites -- or allowing you to repost my words there or anywhere else -- serves only to make your fantasies look like they have merit and therefore deserve my criticism. As such, posting on this insignificant little board matches my level of egotism perfectly.

Why don't you just ignore me and this little board and go back and feed your own ego on your anecdotal fantasies some more? I've asked you to provide scientifically credible evidence for your fantasies, but at least you recognize that you can't, which is why you so desperately keep trying to trick me into playing your game instead. Marg nearly promised to just sit back and shut up, and I find it quite regrettable that she didn't follow through on that. You might consider doing so in her place.
