In this thread, in Post #237, What Exit accused me of misquoting him.
I am starting this thread to challenge him (or anyone else) to show me where I misquoted him. Which should be a pretty easy accusation to substantiate, if true. And if it is true, I will promptly apologize.
The reason I am starting this thread is that I noticed that What Exit has repeatedly volunteered, that (in essence) I spread misinformation, or am dishonest, or something like that.
When challenged to actually QUOTE me, he makes lame excuses, rather than either back up his claim or withdraw it and apologize.
So rather than challenge him again and again, I will be able to link to this thread, which will (I expect) show that he is a LIAR.
Of course, I am pretty confident that my “fan club” will use this thread as an opportunity to criticize me, to post quotes of people criticizing me, etc. Go right ahead, I can’t stop you.
I also expect that people will defend What Exit without actually substantiating his accusation that I misquoted him.
But just 3 points:
First, if you defend What Exit without actually supplying any proof for his misquoting accusation, you are helping to confirm my claim and I will try to tell you as much.
Second, if you accuse me of being dishonest, or spreading misinformation, or anything like that, I expect you to supply an actual QUOTE where I do so. If I am wrong on some fact, I will promptly admit it and thank you for correcting me. Just like I did here (If you disagree with me on a matter of opinion or ultimate opinion, well, that can’t be helped. Start a thread in GD or IMHO. ) Otherwise, you are helping to confirm that in fact I don’t spread misinformation and am not dishonest, and I will try to tell you as much.
Third (Hi Opal?), if you make some statement which is irrelevant to my challenge, then you are possibly helping to confirm my claim, and I may tell you as much.
So that’s it. I’ve got a huge piece of humble pie, ready for consumption if I did in fact misquote What Exit.
I also have my asbestos suit ready, so go ahead and flame away.
Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Hanukah, whatever.
