<<<Oh, Michael, here is one of Es quotes where she did not alleged call me a liar...haha
You will "paraphrase," so you can lie. That is my Prediction Number One. >>>
You continue to provide perfect emblems for intellectual dishonesty. (Is being intellectually dishonest the same as being a liar? I'm not sure, but I guess it depends on consciousness of the dishonesty.) The above statement is dishonest in this way:
I did not "allege" to Michael that I had not called you a liar. I did call you a liar, earlier in our argument (if this exchange can be dignified with the word); and I am close to doing it again.
My EXPLICIT point was that I had not, in that last post, the one he was replying to, done so. I had written in that post, about you, "I have come to believe that you are in a state similar to an hypnotic one, and are innocent of intentional lies. "
Are you purposely or through incomprehension misreading everything? This is like my saying I would give you a trillion dollars if you would find what you pretended was there on the U of P site. You immediately come on and imply that I have made another offer entirely. You have done this sort of thing repeatedly in this exchange. Innocent incomprehension, a cognitive problem; or motivated lying, an ethical one? I am not sure.
If all your misstatements and distortions are lies, you are without a doubt the most deeply intellectually dishonest person I have ever encountered, and I mean sordidly dishonest.
But if you are simply incapable, literally, of comprehending rather simple concepts, then the question becomes why has no one written to me with the suggestion that you are mentally retarded, and this must be taken into account?
Those are the choices.
Dan, are you mentally retarded? This is a serious question that has come to me suddenly and given me odd and uncomfortable feelings about how I've engaged you here. Dan, I have a retarded daughter whom I love. I do not see mental retardation as creating a bad person in the way I see dishonesty creating a bad person. I know many retarded people through my daughter, and understand the limitation on what should be asked of them in terms of comprehension. These people, the ones who are verbal, speak openly about being mentally retarded, and do not consider it a shameful secret.
If you are retarded, I apologize for entering the exchange at all. If you are retarded, you would be in the "mildly retarded," or "borderline," category, clearly. (My daughter is profoundly retarded.)
I do not know whether you are knowingly lying or are simply genuinely uncomprehending.
There is nothing shameful about not understanding something.
PROLIFE, you are the only one who knows for sure whether you are a liar or not. I would ask you, PROLIFE, to look into your heart.
If you knew that my claim was simply that in that last post I did not call you a liar and yet, knowing that, wrote anyway the "where she did not alleged call me a liar haha" post, then you know that you are a liar. Your heart will tell you the answer.
On the other hand, if you read my words and simply did not understand them, if you thought, reading them, that they said I had never called you a liar, then... you are not a liar, Dan.
Yes, you have some cognitive problems, but it puts a very different light on the things you have said that are inaccurate, and on your forgetting what has been said, and on refusing to read my replies to your posts much as a child covers his ears with his hands and says "LALALALALALALA," to keep from hearing.
If you are retarded, Dan, then I honor you for trying to do your best in life.
If you aren't, it's a different situation, of course. |
