"I have no idea what is referred to as "hand waving"..." Hmm. Common enough phrase. Funny that you don't know what it means. "and I have provided examples of your projection before.." No you haven't. You point at something and claim it is projecting. You provide no back up other than your statement. Which really isn't showing anything. Other than your hands waving.

Jlallen, > I have no idea what is referred to as "hand waving"... You said it yourself. CJ is known to project his faults upon those he argues against. Look at the definition of handwaving and you'll see it perfectly fits his style: en.wikipedia.org The term handwaving is an informal term that describes either the debate technique of failing to rigorously address an argument in an attempt to bypass the argument altogether, or a deliberate gesture and admission that one is intentionally glossing over detail for the sake of time or clarity. It can be meant as an accusation or in a more positive light, depending on the context. It is also used in other situations, as for instance, "The Council has merely handwaved a solution to the traffic dangers at this intersection", meaning a claim of solution without actuality. In this sense, the solution has been achieved by public relations manipulations. Tenchusatsu
