You were not "attacking" me, and I didn't feel attacked. You were doing your false-implications thing. Using a logical fallacy to create impressions you find satisfying to create. In this case implying some vague (necessarily vague, since it was substanceless) association of me with the position of Bellesiles, a person of whom I had never heard until you mentioned him and with whose position on the Second Amendment I disagree. You also keep referring to my having "found Wills to be a source on fabulators in the past." And I can't defend myself in the only way possible, by inviting a discussion of exactly which of the fabulations of Ronald Reagan to which you keep irrelevantly and tastelessly, without using the poor man's name, referring (forget Wills, he is hardly the only source on this subject that so interests you at this time) you are disputing, because I will not engage in such a discussion about that very ill man. I have declined to do so here on several occasions since he became ill, and do it again now. In any case, Wills is someone with whom you yourself have agreements from time to time, I am positive. Shall I hold you responsible, therefore, for every (presumed) error in his future writings? For example, do you differ with all presidential assessments by Wills? What about this one: “Clinton may not go down in history as our worse president. But he is the absolute worse person we have ever elected president.” I have told you to be good, Zoltan. That included being more logical and including fewer speciously suggestive implications. You must try harder! I am sure you can do it. It is good of me to have such faith in you, isn't it? Faith is a marvelous thing, and as we know, need not be based on evidence.
