It would seem we've filled the queue on the other thread. Allow me to respond to you here:

> is an assertion without supporting evidence

I’m sorry, I thought the evidence was obvious. Allow me to explain it to you: someone who has a history of lying has a significantly higher chance of lying again than someone who does not.

> You also construct your own straw man

Asking a question is not putting words in someone’s mouth - and it was resolved with his simple “No”.

> The insults

Oh my. Do you really want to go there after this sequence:

> you're moving from the territory of reasonable questions to moderately desperate conspiracy theory

> Your confusion is understandable given your own (excruciatingly obvious) motives.

> find the words to make yourself feel good when pressing 'reply'

> I humbly apologise. When I said you were confused, I only meant to state a fact, not cause you harm.

> These linguistic motte-and-bailey tricks are pure debate bro.

Motte-and-bailey? I have not retracted a single thing.

> hope of actually changing the other person's mind

HA! I realized that would be impossible quite a long time ago. Now it’s just a fun game to see how bloodied you get.
