I don't demand proof: you do, so you should be able to say what, to your
mind, constitutes proof, but you evade the question and then accuse me, and
doubtless others, of evasion.

OK so we are agreed that you can't/wont back up your claims.
I have asked you to produce evidence to back up your claims, but you
can't/wont do that.
You then paste my e-mail as a subject line & accuse me of evasion.
You then name me as a Freemason.
Most normal people will have no trouble drawing their own conclusions.

You make statements, it is up to you to back those with some sort of proof.

It's up-to-you if you think you can explain why you harass me with demands
for proof without having any idea what that proof might be.

I think you're a Freemason fraud. Why else would you abuse me so?

That's my question: what is proof that someone is a Freemason, and if you
cannot answer why do you file the demand in the first place?

Some should a simple to prove, after all, you do make claims that
various people are masons, surely if you know that they are masons then
you should be able to post the evidence that made you sure that they
were masons.
Otherwise you are just a loon posting drivel naming people who committed
crimes as masons.

BTW 'Common knowledge' that is not common to the rest of us is not evidence.

You actively alter news reports to state that the people who committed
the crimes are masons. Either you are a loon editing news stories
without any real knowledge that they are masons or else you actually
have evidence that proves that they are masons.

If you do not have proof that they are masons then you are (as many here
suspect) just a loon. If you believe that Tony is a mason then tell us
why, in your view, he is a mason.

So you cannot back up your statements, well done for admitting it, it has
taken long enough !

If it is just your personal opinions then state that, no problem, it is then
just anecdotal. If you are sure of your facts and you want other people to
believe you , then you need some sort of back-up evidence.

And yet another cycling saddle sniffer appears out of the woodwork in
order to enlighten us with a deep and insightful post.

There seems to be plenty of proof you are a cunt. Well, the sort of
proof that I require anyway.

I don't have a minder and I don't remember anyone predicting anything about
any minder or any mention of same before this post.

Perhaps you are creating your own enemies in your own mind and need to see

You have not answered the question: where was this prediction, for I

Wish I did have a minder: that would be nice. I do appreciate the support
and agreement I am fortunate to receive from sutartsorric.

Often, allegations of hallucinations get so bizarre they are evidence of
psychosis in the person making the accusations, if one was to take these
people seriously.

You don't know what's going on in my mind;
I don't know what's going on in your mind;
the only difference seems to be you will not admit it;
I just did.

Clearly you feel that you have proof otherwise you would not be banging
on about the person being a mason.
I would be keen to see what evidence you have to repeatedly add the word
'freemason' before the name of someone in a new report. Clearly you have
some evidence otherwise you would not do it.

No, and I have not been "banging on about" Tony Dragon
<tony....@btinternet.com> being a Freemason either.

You have not answered my question. You talk about proof that someone is a
Freemason, but do not say what proof might be, even when I ask.

> I would be keen to see what evidence you have to

You're asking me to re-state the obvious. The only contact I have with
"Tony Draggon" is on Usenet so, at least it seems to me, the only way I can
conclude, as I have, that "Tony Draggon" is a Freemason, is from the things
s/he says on Usenet.

I am bound to say I find this unhelpful. "Tony Draggon" denies being a
Freemason and I see no benefit from you requiring me to state repeatedly,
what is true, that I am sure such statements are not a helpful reflection
of his/her true relationship with Freemasonry. You're not stupid, you do
understand.

And you have been asked many times to present your evidence that
somebody is a Mason, after all if you are calling a person a Mason then
you must have a reason for doing that, all you have to do is post your
reason.

You seem to have misread what was posted, try reading it again :-

I would be keen to see what evidence you have to
repeatedly add the word 'freemason' before the
name of someone in a new (sic) report. Clearly you have
some evidence otherwise you would not do it.

No mention was made of me.

I was asked for proof, and need to be given some idea of what proof that
someone is a Freemason might be.

1. I was asked for proof. None of you are stupid: you know what proof is.

2. Of course I have reasons for believing you are a Freemason.

Indeed, it's change of subject, presumably because demanding more
information about why I have drawn the opinion I have about "Tony Draggon"
is an abuse.

If we know what proof is because we are not stupid, and then you ask

Non-sequitur: I keep telling you that I do not know what proof that someone
is a Freemason might be. You should tell me what you mean by proof that
someone is a Freemason.

I have said it. I would like to see the reasons you have for suspecting.
You repeatedly say that X is a mason but when asked how you know you
usually either a) ignore the request, b) respond with a question then
continually demand that the person answers your question while ignoring
the original question c)divert the discussion onto something else.

But what things? Does he use passphrases or key words?
You have accused me of being a mason and yet I do not recall using any
masonic language or pass phrases.

So in your own mind, without any actual evidence that you can post here,
you have decided that Tony is a mason and that almost everyone in the
public eye who does something wrong (ie appears in the news so that you
can cut, paste and insert the word freemason everywhere)is a mason?

All I have asked for is why you think they are masons but you evade,
divert, obfuscate and ignore the question instead of debating.

Indeed. Mr Pilotin, you evade the question, pick on straw men and
constantly shift.
As my sainted mother says "If you argue with an idiot for long enough,
he will end up doing the same"

I'm bowing out before I become the second idiot.

I cannot say why I think x is a Freemason, if I do, because I do not know
who x is supposed to be.

You both, especially Tony, use language I associate with Freemasonry.

You were demanding proof and I responded by asking what proof that someone
is a Freemason might be. Personally I would be far better disposed to your
requests if your demands were moderate, polite and not changing.

That's not true. I have decided that, in my opinion, Tony is a Freemason.

Presumably, since I do not know who you are talking about, the evidence
changes between people. In every case, I promise you the evidence is
nothing particularly clever: I don't have any special powers.

I try not to. We all make mistakes, but beyond getting me to admit more
than that I am a fallible human, the same as everyone else, you will need
to be more precise.

OK so you have admited that you don't know why you call these people
Masons.

What language would this be, because when anybody who questions you,
you declare them to be Masons.

The requests made of you have been polite, never changing & as far as
I can see moderate.
You have been requested to post what you consider to be proof that the
person is a Mason.
If you are saying that you think they are a Mason, then you should be
able to say why you think that.

English.

Without any names one can only observe that presumably that is because

That is not correct. The allegations of mental instability are baseless
and the demands for proof extreme.

There you go again: demanding proof, while I am still waiting for
someone to tell me what proof that someone is a Freemason might be.

Yes, and I am.

That's a silly question: the only contact I have with "Tony" is via
Usenet, so how else could I draw such a conclusion if not from what he
says?

What is the magic word, if such a request is in order for someone who
claims to be polite?

If that is correct, you can supply me with an exhaustive list of who
"they" are supposed to be, can't you?

Most of the people who have replied to you have not said you were
mentally unstable.

So you consider that people asking you to prove your claims extreme, why

I myself am willing to add 'please' to my requests if it will mean that
you give answers. I will expect that you will now do the same.

Well you could start with me.
I am sure I could compile such a list from your future posting, and I
would asks others, Francis, Andy, etc to do the same.

I am sure if you wanted you could allow me to answer questions without
trying to attach highly unreasonable conclusions. I do not say everyone
who questions me is a Freemason: that is your side's claim, not mine.

You've made another mistake: you know to whom "francis" was referring
when he said "them" (above), but still deny being the same person as
"francis."

So we agree that the allegations of mental instability are baseless.

You may not understand this response, but it is because you are not

I did not ask for proof, your side did. It is for your side to tell me
what you mean by proof so that I may have an opportunity to meet your
demands.

Is that supposed to be an exhaustive list: one identity? Perhaps you are
correct and "they" did indeed refer to only one person, but many
identities. I fear you may have accidentally spoken the truth.

I really cannot answer questions about anonymous identities.

With respect, simply that you do not understand my answer is no grounds
for accusing me of evasion.

I have not asked for proof. Your side demands proof, not me. I regard
demands for proof, especially without giving any idea what in your mind
amounts to proof, to be unreasonable. I don't know what you mean.

I really do not see how a reasonable person could describe a fair
question, and a failure to answer questions about persons unknown, as an
evasion.

X is a placeholder for name of the various people you claim are masons.
Simply substitute an alleged mason's name for X, just take the name of
some of the people you allege are masons and substitute the name for X.

I have questioned you and you now indicate that I am a mason by the
language I use. Perhaps you would be so good as to quote the passage(s)
containing the language that indicates that I am a mason.
AFAIK the only terms that I know are/were masonic have entered common
parlance such as 'on the level' and 'all square' but I cannot recall
using those.

It should be simple to quote the text, just cut and paste.

Your behaviour on here shows cause for concern but that behaviour could
be mental instability, trolling or many other causes. Mental instability
is just one possibility.

You must tell me who mean by X; I can't tell you.

Yes it is.

No it isn't. I get letters from a mentally ill person: I don't know how you
would tell. Your allegations of mental instability, even as a possibility,
are baseless.

He has told you, but you as usual can't or wont do what is asked of
you.

You usually call yourself Tony when you hurl entirely baseless allegations
of evasion at me.

The allegations of mental instability thrown at me on Usenet, often by
people who admit being Freemasons, are entirely baseless.

I refer you to the answer that you have been given before :-
"Simply substitute an alleged mason's name for X,
just take the name of some of the people you
allege are masons and substitute the name for X."

No I allways call myself Francis when I tell you that you ansers are
evasive.
When other people say the same thing they use their names.

So you are saying that people who are not Masons have said that you
are mentally instable.

I note the you have not commented on what I said about many of your
allegations being baseless.

How would you know: you're supposed to be a different person, remember?

Have another go and see if you can read it properly: the allegations of
mental instability thrown at me on Usenet, often by people who admit to
being Freemasons, are entirely baseless.

That's because you are changing the subject.

In any case, I doubtless would have the most extreme difficulty extracting
from you the remotest idea of which allegations you were referring to: in
all fairness, you still will not tell who X is supposed to be.

Just take the name of any person who you claim to be a mason. Remove X
from the original sentence and insert their name. Any of the news report
where you insert the word 'Freemason' before their names.

I am leaning away from mentally unstable and towards troll but if you
are a troll it has to be one of the most brilliant, sustained and
consistent trolling I have ever seen and I have been online since the 80s.

My auntie was trying to catch kippers at London Bridge so she could
send them to the palace, so far she's been unlucky.
