Why would you believe anything that David says.

Why would I believe anything that Ian says?

*His explanations for
why he is unable to answer people may be no more than yet one more
exercise in finding excuses for his behaviour, which actually have
no connection to the underlying pathology of his behaviour.

OTOH it is far more likely that my explanations show
a high degree of personal integrity.

I personally think that David lacks the necessary analytical skills to
understand reality well enough to explain himself or his behaviour. I
think he is pretty much now reduced to being little more than the
ghost in the machine.

For Friends and for the sake of quakerism - what is important?

If the subject is netiquette, a post should be polite and informative.

So, in this thread I posed a question that has yet to be
satisfactorily
answered - Is World Climate Data being Manipulated to Show Warming?

Further, please note a recent SRQ thread of mine -

Do the Dead Sea Scrolls undermine Christianity?

If a recording machine told you that it couldn't depart from its
script because of its concerns about its feelings being hurt, would
you believe the recording machine.

Why do you presume that David is capable of doing more these days than
cutting and pasting. *I see no evidence to suggest that he is. *

That's because you do not have the integrity to look.

snip more the of the endless list of pathetic excuses Carl makes for being unable to answer questions: Duck, Dodge, and Hide--the Crunchie kookstep!

Further,

You mean "non sequitur."

please note a recent SRQ thread of mine -
Do the Dead Sea ScFLUSH

And of course, do the Dead Sea Shuffle, atop your hobbyhorse!

Because believing anything anyone says over believing you is a safe
bet.

You explanations only show a high degree of ineptitude in the subjects
you think you're knowledgeable in as well as Narcissistic Personality
Disorder.
