Larry's answer-by-diversion-or-epithet tactic, as well as his repeated "I've
already answered that" obfuscation, have hopefully already exposed him.  For
those who complain about "ad hominem" attacks, when someone like Arndt or
Brunson or whomever repeatedly says nothing while promoting the idea that they
are actually saying something, that should be pointed out.  Only substantive
arguments should have weight in a discussion such as this.  Attempts to snow
people with non-arguments in the hopes that they will bypass the issue itself
and simply make the same assumptions as the "snower" amounts to nothing but
fascism, and should be labelled and designated as such.

P.S.  Welcome back, Tim.
