It was a non sequitur in the social sense of the term--no connection
with what I had been writing. If your "nope" meant the logical
sense of your deducing something improper from what I wrote,
then you are exonerated of a blatant falsehood.

"perhaps" suggests that you were up to no good, and are now
backpedaling because I've pointed out the error, which can
only be called a "typo" by stretching that word beyond reason.

You indulged in a bait and switch scam, telling me that I should
hang my head in shame on account of some evildoing by Josh
Duggar, then tried to make it look like you had been actually
referring to the FRC, then admitted that you may have misunderstood
something I'd written but made an apology contingent on me kowtowing
to your anti-FRC agenda.
I've replied to that bait and switch, and you have not replied
(yet?). Here you are far more arrogant and condescending, because
the error in which I caught you above is insignificant in comparison.

"whatever they advocate" is laying it on far too thick. If people were
to apply the same standards to you and Ray Martinez, you'd both be
complete outcasts. As it is, Martinez has lots of people willing
to soften the blows of his untrustworthiness, including you and
"brogers", and I am still willing to discuss on-topic issues with you.

Apply those standards to yourself, and everything you've said by
way of mitigating the charges of dishonesty and insanity against
Ray Martinez goes flying out the window.
You haven't reared your ugly head on the thread,
Subject: Re: OT: Ray Martinez's brand of "Christianity" unmasked?
and I expect you to continue giving it a wide berth, because
it is very difficult to escape the conclusion that the bulk
of what he has posted there makes a *prima facie* case for him
being highly dishonest and/or insane.

Not always, not by a long shot. You made the claim that I had called
Martinez a liar many times, and when I asked you to find a single example
outside the thread that we were posting to, you haughtily refused.

I deal with it by denying it, and I challenge you to find a
single plausible example.

Name me one that you can document and defend your interpretation of.
And don't try to play games with the word "evidence" the way
Martinez and Okimoto do, to mean "evidence so overwhelming that even
I cannot deny it."

You mean all that talk about me having a sexual fascination for
chimps was NOT a mask? I'm referring to your performance on the
Santorum thread, which I've thoroughly dissected in two posts,
neither of which you have replied to yet.
The second one was really telling:

I note that you gave no hint of ever having done the thing I'd said
you wouldn't dream of doing, nor a denial that you've seen many
such jerks in action.

Big words from someone who told me,
"You should run, and hide, and
crawl under a rock, in light of these facts."
Can you truthfully tell me what you had in mind when you wrote that?
Remainder deleted, to be replied to if you go on being the arrogant
condescending jerk that you've been all through this post.
