Duh.. I wrote your charter John. I'm pretty sure I get that:-)
But that's not what you said. You said,
"You can't keep saying that I've made 'false claims.' That's calling me
a liar."
So, what is a "false claim"? I'm pretty sure it means a statement that
is untrue. How many thousands of times have you and your friends told
conspiracy people that their claims were false or untrue??
That right is fundamental and necessary to any form of legitimate debate.
You have never refuted me John and you have never seen anyone else
refute me. If you honestly thought you had, then your failure to locate
such a refutation ought to be telling you something very important.
>
> Which is what you repeatedly try to do.
Stating that your claim is false and requesting proof is not an
accusation of being a liar, John.
Your claim that it is, is a bit silly.

Let's not change the subject. The sentence you replied to was,
"Apparently, I am also not allowed to ask him to be specific about who
refuted me and how. I guess that's like calling him a liar, too"
So, do I have the right to ask you to be specific about these alleged
rebuttals or do I now??
And having made that allegation, don't you think you have an obligation
to justify it?? Why won't you do that John?
> early 2000s.
I remember you trying to argue that most of the relevant witnesses
didn't say the final shots were closely bunched. I replied by posting
many dozens of citations as well as the WC's conclusion, after which you
clammed up on that issue.
And I remember you saying, "Nobody was ducking, Bob".
And when I asked if you agree with Alvarez that there was a loud noise
at 285, you replied with "Did alvarez say there was a shot at 285, Bob?".
Is that what you call engagement:-)
>
> But you pretend I have not.
I make no such pretense. There are dozens of critical questions which to
this day, you have never answered. And none which you have discussed
with anything more than a one-line, hit 'n run shot.
Would you like to review some of those questions, John?
>

> But you don't really want to see my responses, do you?
I am begging you to show them to me John.
Other than a handful of silly one-liners, I can remember nothing. Oh
wait! Didn't you post 2 or 3 sentences about your theory that Kellerman
was "swaying":-)
John, engagement is a process of point, counterpoint. And honest people
*NEVER*, ever, ever evade the tough questions.
*NEVER*

Why would I complain that I haven't been refuted??

John, this is a rather serious issue. Why did you violate your own

That is untrue, as I told you several times in the past. I said three
people were ducking - Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Connally, and Roy Kellerman, in
the range of 27-35 degrees. I have also proven that to you by posting
relevant Zapruder frames.
> But nobody else sees that.
That is flatly untrue as well.
Even your fellow nutters, like OHLeeRedux and others have claimed that
they reacted by being thrown forward when Greer allegedly slammed on the
brakes.
>
> Each and every action you see as "ducking" is something else.
Really?
How do you justify that John? Witness statements? Zapruder frames? Some
kind of scientific study??
Or is your only justification that you desperately wish it were so??
Lets take a closer look at Kellerman and at least let the lurkers out
there, make their own call.

And how do you explain why all of those people reacted in the same 1/6th
of a single second? Watch em again john. I know it isn't easy for you
but you need to try.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GH5pGQy6yI
In this animation, you will see both sets of reactions, following first
285, and then 313. The ladies don't drop their heads following 313,
because they were still down, from the 285 shot.
Notice also, that the reactions following 285 are less pronounced than
those following 313. That matches perfectly with Alvarez's conclusion
that Zapruder's reaction to 313 was more pronounced than to 285.
Obviously, the 313 shot was louder.

John, have you ever noticed that you have a tendency to just blurt out
your subjective opinions without even a speck of factual evidence or
logical analysis??
Let's talk about the objective FACTS, shall we?
Why do you suppose that 5 people in the limo, and Abraham Zapruder, all
reacted in the same 1/6th of one second??
Would you like me to prove that to you, AGAIN, John??

That is correct. Startle reactions take many different forms. But why do
you suppose he turned at such incredible speed, as he lifted his foot
from the gas??
Do you suppose he might have been a bit startled at the time:-)
Do you suppose he might have been affected when he heard and felt the
"concussion" of the shock wave of the passing bullet on his face??

> Kellerman is swaying forward.
ROFLMAO!!
And Jackie shot JFK with a derringer she had hidden in her underware!

>I can't see what he is doing,
That's funny. You seem to be the only one with that problem.
In case you missed your latest appointment at the optometrist, why don't
you have some of the youngsters in your class look at the animation and
let them tell you what they see??
I would really love to hear their responses. Seriously, John. Why don't
you do it?

Sorry John. You're endless unsupported, subjective opinions just don't
cut it. And they don't qualify as engagement.
Engagement is about the objective facts and verifiable evidence. Our
personal, subjective opinions are utterly and totally worthless.
The good news is, that there is a great deal of objective, measurable
evidence John. Let's throw out subjective crap and talk about what
really matters.
Are you up for that??
