...can't truthfully dispute my debating points.

Ha! You crack me up. Here are you "debating points:"

They wouldn't happen to be friends of yours, would they?

Mirant grandly prances in front of the FERC ...

...we've gotten screwed by Mirant's shenanigans ...

...these schemers wouldn't have been mentioned in that article ...

First, they would lie about the involvement.

Mirant is dirty on this one, and hoping to get dirtier.

You may prefer lies to the truth. I don't.

Andersen just indicted. Mirant's up next...


Debating points, you say? I only see a mad rant, pretending to be debate and filled with about every logical fallacy in the book, including:

affirming the consequent
appeal to consequences
argumentum ad ignorantiam
argumentum ad hominem
argumentum ad populum
circular definition
petitio principii
prejudicial language
untestability

Try putting together a coherent, logical argument - perhaps even including a fact or two just for fun. Then we can have a debate.
