If there were links then you could link to them now. That's simple enough. Can you?

I'm betting I can show more than 100 instances in which you exhibit the behavior I accuse you of.

Not as easy as Nuremburg as they lack the cross references.
Was there links in the Speer topic?
Did I provide them?
Did I thank the person for the perfect link that provided all the information that was needed?
Did you need help finding the material in the link which was already provided but that you claimed wasn't there?
Did I tell you exactly which sections of the link contained all the information needed?
If this is true then you can show everybody that link now.

Quote:
Was it a book I told you to read or was it the information already present in the posted link I told you to read?
If it was all in the link and no reference to a book was made does that mean your statement there is not true?
Can you demonstrate this now?

How many others can you show right now? The sole reason I get on you for this is because you have a long-standing pattern of not doing any of those. The most recent example is the attack by you that started all this. You didn't show links. You didn't discuss the topic. You didn't prove your claim that the person you attacked was wrong. You simply mocked your favorite target. This is wrong, and that is why I responded as I did.

Lest you forget, this discussion is at its core about your attack methods. If you're going to accuse someone of having bad arguments it's your job to dig into those arguments and show that they are wrong. Whatever your claims about me, the point is that you do this consistently. You want to argue that you did it properly once, good. That doesn't negate your years-long habit of doing this.

All you have to do is agree to my request in Post #14 and I'll agree to my statement at the end. You could make this end instantly.
