 marg, *read* the thread instead of creating chaos
Author: Jersey Girl

You are going to get everything you deserve totally uncensored in this reply and then some, so either suck it up and take it like a woman or ignore it.


Quote:

Vicki I had read his comments on this, but because martin seemed all over the place, because he was highly critical of the conneaut witness statements and the process used in obtaining their statements his position didn't make much sense.

It is one thing to say the S/R theory doesn't need the conneaut witnesses' statements but quite another to argue that Hurlbut deviously manipulated them to illicit a statement to his liking but which was not the truth. It's quite another to argue to discredit the conneaut witnesses. The jocker's study adds credibility to their statements so it's a little odd to argue to discredit them if one accepts the jocker's analysis.

You are still attempting to discuss something that this thread left in it's dust days ago. Why? Because you haven't actually followed the thread.

Quote:

So my point was to get him to clearly verify his position.

You have no point. You remain stuck on something that was essentially discarded days ago.

Quote:

I haven't tried to wage war, my focus is on the S/R theory. You on the other hand invariably in discussions on much more interested in drawing people in to create drama than you are in adding substance or comments to the actual issues.

I don't give a shit what you think I "invariably" do in discussions. You are as wrong in your assumptions about me as you have been during all of the current threads. You've added nothing but off topic chaotic bullshit to these discussions.

I didn't *need* to add anything more to "the issues". This wasn't about "the issues". You apparently missed what this was about. Either that or you haven't the intellectual capacity to discern it. How many times do I have to ask you to read the threads?

And yet, instead of reading and attempting to understand the discussion and what direction it took, you continue to harp on the Conneaut Witnesses.

Hint: The discussion SHIFTED FOCUS during the course of this thread.

There was no "drawing people in to create drama" here. The only person creating drama has been you leveling personal attacks about someone's mental states. " Christ, lady, worry about your own mental state!

Try reading this real slow like...this thread was not about "the issues", not about "what a good crictical thinker would do", not about "the old Martin", not about "Howe/Hurlbut/Who did what and when".

It ultimately came to be about Martin's ideas *intersecting* Dale's historical matter and the Jockers study. It happened right before your very eyes (the eyes that were too busy looking for a reason to personally attack someone) and you missed it!

You missed it!

Quote:

So in this thread for example, yes, you'll ask questions, but you won't add much if any input to the actual issue. You much prefer to create drama. And that is what your post above is about.

Yes, I ask questions. I don't have to "add much input" to "the actual issue". God almighty, girl. You keep using the same old worn phrases and you manage to say nothing at all! I ask questions (get this) to draw out thoughts and ideas. You of course are too busy churning out minutia and repeating well rehearsed phrases to identify emerging "thoughts and ideas".

Quote:

You'll egg martin on by praising him telling him, let's see now 3 times, he's "on his game" and then you'll attack me, all in an effort to pull us into this drama game you've created. You know darn well how martin reacts to praise, he goes to the extreme by lapping it up. So you've egged him on knowing full well he's a loose cannon, and one that obviously craig wishes to avoid on this board.

Get a fucking life, marg. In your small brain, I "egged Martin on" by "praising him" or saying that he's "on his game". I made simple observations and if you weren't so bloody insecure you'd see them as such. But not you, marg. You see them as fuel for your mental imaginary pissing contest. Martin has definitely been a loose cannon on this board. He is not doing that now.

Stop mentioning Craig in this context.

Quote:

Try writing something on the actual topic vicki,. Surprise us, tell us why or why not the Conneaut witness statements should be employed in the S/R theory. Write something on topic for a change. I won't hold my breath.

Nor will I hold my breath until you realize what the thread has come to be about. The Conneaut Witnesses were left in the dust days ago. But for your reading pleasure, the Conneaut Witnesses can remain part of the theory but probably shouldn't remain part of the Jocker's continued analysis of the text.

Why?

Because they don't matter.
What they testify to doesn't matter.
Manuscript Found doesn't matter.

So far as Jockers is concerned, there could be 100 Spalding manuscripts floating around out there in outer space (testified to or not) and none of them would matter more or less than MF because none of them would be nor are they *extant*.

The Jockers study is NOT the S/R Theory, marg. They are two different entities entirely.

For the Jockers study, ALL that matters is the Oberlin Manuscript.

Martin is talking about the same exact thing that I said two years ago. Manuscript Found no longer matters. I said that on the MDB thread where I announced the Jockers study to begin with.

Martin has taken that a step further and fleshed it out to a logical conclusion in a way that separates the theory from the wordprint studies and in a way that I hadn't considered or ever seen expressed in any of the discussions I've read or been a part of.

You don't need MF, you don't need "the old style", you don't need "the biblical style".

The Jockers study was based on non-contextual words. It doesn't matter what style MF was written in. The Oberlin Manuscript supplied the signals for Spalding.

The more you attempt to inject MF into the Jockers study, the more you might as well inject the other 100 alleged Spalding manuscripts floating around in outer space into the study.

They don't EXIST.

The signals for Spalding were had *without* what doesn't exist.

Martin is saying that they should leave out mention of what doesn't exist.

You know how you say that there is no empirical evidence for God?

Well, I got news for you lady, there is no empirical evidence for the Manuscript Found.

This is proof positive that all this time, you've been regurgitating phrases that hold no depth of meaning to you. You know the lyrics, but you don't know what the song is about. A good critical thinker would have been able to discern this days ago.

Does it take a preschool teacher to get you from point A to point B and then take you home?

And after my having written all of this out to you, you still won't understand. You'll go on to harp about all this weird shit that you manufacture in your head and ascribe to others while demanding that people talk about "the issues", "the topic", and lecturing people on "what a good critical thinker would do".

A good critical thinker would begin by READING the comments that have been made here, examine the order in which they came about, notice the shift in the discussion, notice the outcome, identify the main points that have emerged, determined their worth and merit (instead of attempting to make a determination on the worth and merit of the person who made those points) and figure out how the points might/might not be applied to the wordprint studies or the S/R theory which are not one in the same.

But not you, marg.

You're still talking about the Conneaut Witnesses.
