| Quote (Louis @ Aug. 30 2007,13:09) | Steve,
Despite the obvious sarcasm I am quite serious: I could have made an error. I've done it before and I'll do it again (in fact if you read back in this very thread you'll find I have no problem admitting it when I do so, see my brief chat with Albatrossity. Just one example, there are MYRIAD others in other threads and places).
Lenny and Skeptic both claim that I am in error, great! I love the opportunity to learn. I learn by my errors, so thankfully I get lots of opportunities to learn! What I want to know is if I AM in error what are the errors I have made?
I'm also mildly curious, if indeed I am in error and Skeptic and Lenny know what that error is, then why don't they point it out? Why the refusal to restate my arguments? Why the demonstrated quote mining by Lenny and the demonstrated straw men by Lenny and Skeptic? Why the telling me to "calm down" for example (uncalm as I was before) in response to perfectly rational, calm requests to go back and reexamine what I have said instead of arguing against things I didn;t say?
I think THAT is highly indicative of something extremely unpleasant and unflattering about both of these gents.

I have almost no doubt that is the case. I was just being flippant.
The situation where niether Lenny or Skeptic is willing to write down what they think you have argued is dissaponting.
It would help things move along if they did as you reqested.
