[QUOTE=Frank]  
I believe it was a thought experiment to find out if the words and phrasing of the OP would inspire more quotes from Monty Python or The Simpsons. I can tell because the 17th word would have been “the” instead of “this” if it had been a Blazing Saddles/The Princess Bride showdown.  
[/QUOTE]

Seems Monty Python won out…shame really as I could have done a lot with the cook fire scene from Blazing Saddles. Plus I could have held the entire thread hostage by putting a gun to my head and informing everyone that unless the thread stays civil the Spic gets it…

Er…on second though the massive cheers and encouragement from the peanut gallery to let that Spic have it may have brought down the server, so perhaps it’s better that we went the Monty Python route instead.

Remember when Beavis had too much candy and became Cornholio?

I’m not sure why I’m suddenly reminded of that.

Wait, yes I am.

I stand by my accusation and I spelled out why I said in that thread 14 months I see from rereading it.

You really are dumber than I thought you were. I at least thought you were a smart asshole. Now I can drop the smart part apparently.  
You:“You tell me. **You are the one who is claiming that everything I have cited has been refuted**.”

Me: Now you are just outright lying. I said: “You have provided no cites that support your position that others have not refuted.” Posting that house was bought in 2002 after I had already posted it anyway, was a piece of data that did not support your position. You tried to twist it into a fresh argument against Gore and basically failed again. You are nitpicking now in fact. You nitpick constantly.

And then I explained for you: “Misquoting me is a form of lying. No apology forthcoming from me, that was a factual statement.”

The bolded part was the lie or misquote.

I’m disappointed. There were no words in this post that I need to look up in the dictionary. Fortunate, actually, since I haven’t found mine since the last move; I think it’s still in Ottawa.

**What Exit?** , have you seen my dictionary? Yes or no, damnit!

Such a simple question. Did I misquote you or not?

Simple yes or no question.

I quoted you exactly twice in Post #230.

Here is the first quote:

Here is the second:

Which of the two quotes is a misquote? The first? The second? Or does the misquote occur in some other post?

Last time, here is where you misquoted me:  
You:“You tell me. You are the one who is claiming that everything I have cited has been refuted.”

I even bolded it for you a few posts back. What part don’t you understand?

Please provide at least 2 more things you don’t understand or I will not be able to acknowledge your post. :rolleyes:
