<Ken was right> Ron, you lost again! Give it up now! Quit harassing me!! Quit posting to me- I have asked you 3- NOW 4, times in a row now! Quit attempting to continue your obsession to try to win points and save face in front of the audience,by desperately trying to find any other points to quibble about- after the game is over!! YOu lost again when you said there was no proof at all- A neutral party told you twice now you were wrong!!

END YOUR OBSESSION NOW WITH ATTEMPTING TO SAVE FACE, AND TRYING TO PROVOKE ME!

BE A GOOD SPORT FOR A CHANGE AND ACHNOWLEDGE WHEN YOU LOSE, OR AT LEAST, LEAVE THE PLAYING FIELD GRACEFULLY!!!

NOW!!!

ADDENDUM: You started it this time and you know it! You atttempted to bash me FIRST this round. You have since lost again! Your face is in the mud for your indiscretion! Its too late to save it!

And, if there is ANYTHING WORSE THAN THE ABOVE, its your continuing NECESSITY to alter my statements and put words in my mouth, as desperate ploys to win points, as you so carelessly did in your last post!

Were you this bad of a sport and bad loser in your childhood, also?

If you are this obsessed to save some face to the global audience here, or at least be able to scrape a little of the deserved mud off of it, I WILL BE THE GOOD SPORT of us two and let you try yet again to win a debate, IF AND WHEN you are able to logically debate, but this time you will have to agree to change your game rules and NOT AGAIN:

1. alter my statements, then attempting to ridicule your own creations/alterations, as tho they were mine,

2. put words in my mouth, then attempting to ridicule these also, AS THO THEY WERE MY WORDS!

You know, to anyone trained in debating, or even tactics and strategy, this is a very transparent and poor tactic, used only out of necessity by whomever has already lost, and is desperately seeking an 'exit strategy'! This applies equally to #1, above.

3. debate without name-calling and labeling and insultive remarks.

4. agree to lose as a good sport, when its over, and not trying to prolong a debate after the game is over.

I can only imagine you as a child, staying up past midnite, alone for hours at the neighborhood basketball court, continuing to shoot baskets, hours after the other kids beat you at horse, then calling them the next day to say you afterwards hit a lot more baskets, so you really won the game!

5. quit pouting, whinning when you lose.

6. quit crying to SI Bob every time you lose or can't score any honestly-achieved points.

Pretty simple rules, huh?
Ever heard of Robert's Rules?

I'm safe in this offer as I know you would never, can never agree to the above (or would you cross your fingers while saying "OK"??).
