I didn't ask for an invitation. I asked you to prove that such a
30,000 member writers groups actually exists. Until you're able to do
that your writers groups does not exist.

I can't prove that your writers group does NOT exist. I can only
point out that you have offered no proof of its existence. Until you
do so, it doesn't exist. Having claimed several times that such a
groups exists, your lack of proof should be sufficient to at least
suspect you of inventing a fake group, which does not exist. I would
call that a lie.

I'll concede that you might be a good writer. I just wish you would
write about the various topics under discussion, rather than
desperately trying to change the topic or expand the discussion into
unrelated areas.
>Why do you want to know?
That should be obvious. Your inability to demonstrate the existence
of a 30,000 member writers groups is one of the small number of claims
that you have made in RBT which might be used as proof that you lied.
Your other claims are far more difficult for me to question. Most of
the jobs, positions, acquaintances, famous people, references,
associates, and events you have mentioned in order to embellish your
past are untraceable or sufficiently vague to be difficult to verify.
Your 30,000 member writers groups is one of the few items that can be
traced and identified. I'll leave it to you to demonstrate that it
exists. In this case, absence of evidence really is evidence of
absence.

Thank you for providing a limited selection of possible motives. I
have no intention of joining your group. However, I am curious as to
the membership and what they are discussing. I would not want to
disturb your smooth orchestration of the members and will gladly
restrain myself from posting anything which you might consider
disturbing.

Do you consider asking your the same question repeatedly constitute
hounding you? I thinks it's more like persistence on my part, and
evasion on your part.

No. Hiding a 30,000 member writers group is a formidable task.
Members and former members should be all over the other writers
forums. They should have their own web pages and blogs which mention
your 30,000 member writers group. Secrecy among such a large group is
essentially impossible without draconian measures applied by a small
army of enforcers. However, if you want to end this discussion
quickly, all you need to do is declare that you refuse to disclose its
location or prove its existence. Contrive whatever excuse you find
convenient. You will still be an obvious liar, but the discussion
will be at an impasse and therefore ended until new evidence can be
found.
