I said: It is wrong to falsely accuse someone of a crime that they haven't committed and you and others are wrong for condoning it.

You said: I don't know the accusation to be false.


Exactly. So since I have not accepted your implied assertion that the accustion is false, then the rest of what you say is meaningless.

Let's de-personalize your little bank robbery example and try it again, shall we?

A police sergeant gets a phone call. "Help!" says the voice on the other end. "Someone's robbing the First National Bank of Fraudsville!" Should the sergeant say:

1. "We'll send a squad car right over!"

2. "That's an awfully serious allegation. Prove it!"

The police arrive, and an arrest is promptly made. The local newspaper writes up the incident. After reading the newspaper account, do you:

1. Move on to the next story.

2. Call up the newspaper editor and demand proof that an attempted bank robbery occurred.

I only said that to show you how irrelevant your statement was.

Which is appropriate because that statement was only to show how irrelevant the statement before was.

<And just plain wrong.>

It's not wrong.


Is too. If GummTech forces Bill to eat his claim of stock fraud that will be the first time (and as far as I am concerned, the last). The fact that Bill has elected not to attempt to convince you of his claim is... well, I think you know the rest.
