Haqi, would you please indicate to me which of my arguments I have not substantiated?

Namecalling? Shall I compile an anthology of names and insults PROLIFE has used toward me?

With what that I have said about PROLIFE do you disagree, specifically? Do you think he has normal comprehension of simple concepts? Do you think he is a truthful person?

It is not I who "impugns" PROLIFE's credibility or integrity, haqihana, and I am surprised that, having read the exchanges between us, you would say that, even though you are on his side on the original issue under discussion.

I try to make my statements openly and not by innuendo. Is there an innuendo you feel I have made? Something I want to imply but not say outright? Tell me what it is, and I will clarify.

You write "when you can not come up with an intelligent argument..." but don't you think the record here shows that the unintelligent arguments must be laid at a doorstep other than mine?

Tell me specifically what argument I have made that you feel I made by innuendo, or unintelligently, and I will try to be clearer, and more intelligent; and if I can't, I will change my mind, and tell you that, okay?

Haqi, I've presented my points as well as I know how, and argued as consecutively as I know how and been as logical as I know how. Any shortcomings are in spite of my best efforts.

PROLIFE has disgraced himself and his movement here. I guess your defense of him here shows that you are loyal to your friends (I don't for a minute believe that you think he's not dumb as a rock and disingenuous, too), but it seems to me you're in a "with friends like him, who needs enemies" situation.

Somebody was sure doing some mad-as-a-hornet foot-stamping here, haqi, that's true; but it wasn't I.<g>

(I think that's my first "g" on SI. Probably my last, too.)
