This just means that when I give the evidence Nyikos just runs. Watch
how this post unfolds. Nyikos can cram a lot of lies into a short
post, but he demands evidence of everything that I write. He doesn't
seem to think that this applies to him, but it is mainly because
Nyikos knows that he is lying and can't back up what he claims. I do
not have that problem.

So, you admit that what I claimed was true. You did start off by
snipping out the quotes.
I have dealt with Nyikos for a year and his modus operandi is to first
snip out what he can't deal with or run from the post. If you persist
and keep putting the evidence forward he will start to prevaricate
about the evidence in anyway that he can. Once that is a lost cause
he will just start lying about it and keep repeating the lies in new
threads and new posts. Nyikos is admitting to the first phase of
denial about the Johnson quotes above.

This is the third phase for this lie. Nyikos keeps denying that I put
up the evidence, and he finally had to start lying about it in Sept.
This lie is one of the reasons why he started the Insane logic
thread. He had to run in denial of the obvious lies so he started
another bogus thread.
This is where I demonstrate to Nyikos that I gave him additional
evidence that he claims that he didn't get for a year back in April.

It isn't the ONLY documentation. Why lie like this. You have gotten
other evidence multiple times about the ID perps selling the rubes
that they had the ID science to teach in the public schools before
the
bait and switch went down. That shouldn't even be needed because the
ID perps do not deny selling the rubes the ID scam. They only claim
that they never wanted it mandated to be taught. From the first time
that I put up this quote I claimed that it was only evidence that the
ID perps were still claiming to be able to teach the bogus ID scam
junk. I have even put up their current claims on their official web
site with the same claim.

Does Nyikos take my advice? No. He is still lying about not getting

started lying about not getting it in Sept.
Nyikos has even tried to lie about how similar the April evidence is
to the paper that I put up last month, when the April evidence
contained reference to a book written by the same authors as the paper
that Nyikos claims is convincing evidence.

What did Nyikos remove from this quote? Gee I wonder why he did
that.
QUOTE:
Has ID Been Banned from Public Schools?
No. Science teachers have the right to teach science. Since ID is a
legitimate scientific theory, it should be constitutional to discuss
in
science classrooms and it should not be banned from schools. If a
science teacher wants to voluntarily discuss ID, she should have
the academic freedom to do so.
END QUOTE:
It is obvious that the ID perps are talking about teaching ID in the
public schools. Nyikos has to lie about something this simple for
some reason. Lying is just a way of life for him. This quote states
exactly what I have claimed.

Camp's support has an even more ridiculous Nyikosian history. Nyikos
claimed that Camp was supporting him and then quote mined Camp when I
put up the full statement by Camp to demonstrate how wrong Nyikos
was. Camp was employing a standard rhetorical tactic of putting up
the negative and then destroying it. Nyikos snipped out everything
except the negative comment and he started the SNIP at the "But"
statement. I am not making this up
Where I catch Nyikos quote mining:
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.origins/msg/3c8d3f3f728062b8?hl=enKf4c1af25c978cf
Usually the bogus quote miner manipulates the quote in a book or
somewhere that you can't check, but Nyikos did it when I just had to
go up to my post for the actual quote.
I couldn't make this junk up. Who would believe me?
So much for the second lie in the paragraph under discussion.
I think that it is apparent who the madman insane liar is.

I also told you to get a friend to read the pamphlet and the quote and
tell you what it meant.
Has ID been banned from the public schools? What does it mean when
the ID perp's answer was No? What did it mean when they claimed to
have a scientific theory of ID to teach?

I did ask you to present it to a friend, but you didn't seem to have
any.

Repeating a lie doesn't make it any less of a lie. What about Major
and Camp?
Why did you run from that thread?
Isn't it even sadder that you had to start the Scottish verdict thread
in order to run from the realization that you were the dirty debater
in that thread?

You can't deny that you started the Scottish verdict thread the day

Projection is a way of life for Nyikos. It is obvious who the bogus

they obviously apply to Nyikos.

That was only the first phase of your denial. It progressed to the
second phase of prevaricating in any way that you could.

If Ron O. thinks the above is a description of what he quotes from
Johnson up there, he is at best woefully ignorant of the scientific
issues, and at worst a mental basket case.

This is also the post that Nyikos accused me of running from for 3
whole days when he had posted it to someone else and there was no
reason for me to know that it existed. I don't make this junk up.
So Nyikos graduated to the prevarication stage after the snipping and
running stage and we can see him lying about it in this thread.
Another full Nyikosian progression documented.

See above.
I could find those posts with a simple Google search, but I can't
remember enough of your "old" quote to get Google to find it. Maybe
you can find the post and demonstrate that you didn't mean what I
claim. The statement was so bogus that you know that you wrote it,
and I did remind you about it from time to time with no denial on your
part until now.

I was just paraphrasing what the first statement really meant. What a
bonehead. How do you think the ID perps run the bait and switch on
the rubes? Do they give them the ID science or do they try to fob off
the switch scam onto them?
