Rick,
:I'd sincerely like to see your points addressed.
You can bet they will. Alan will do it. I know the guy.
:Although I would suggest you try to distill your thoughts to very clear and concise points, I realize this is easier said than done.
For AP that is an impossibility. He is the verbose king of the Windbag school of debating. Say enough words and maybe people will miss the real issues. He's a master at that and he just proved it. Again.
:Verbose posts are easy to churn out, whereas it takes time (and time most don't possess) to go back and edit out excess verbiage.
That's why he writes the way he writes, Rick. It doesn't take even a dummy like me to see that.
:If your strategy is indeed to overwhelm the opposition with volumes of words (so that only those who sincerely want to understand what you're saying get these curious points you raise about AF's contradictions such as I illustrated, that many missed in the sea of words), then you've handled the strategy masterfully.
Correct! Greg is good at overwhelming with words and saying little about the real issues.
:I'm sure it appears to some they're doing this because they are unable to address the issues you raise. Whether this is true remains to be seen.
What ISSUES, Rick? Name them so we can all address them. Or not.
I'm waiting with baited breath. And so are many others.
What ISSUES did Greg bring up that we can't address, Rick?
Farkel, sharpening his nails and stocked up with a new supply of split-pea soup should the occasion warrant it...
