Likewise, criticizing his critics does not make one his supporter.  You're
not going to tell me that you fell into that trap too, are you?.  If so then
why do you keep on making the same fallacy over and over that some others have 
about where I stand?

Is it so difficult for you to conceive of a person who can merely MENTION the
man's name and talk about what he said without necessarily taking his side.
You and a few others owe me an apology on that point.  It was an insult to my
intelligience and others' on this net.

Next time: ASK, if you're not sure what someone said.

Now about knowing what the man said : I doubt you know that much at all except
what you have heard through second-hand quotes and the like.  The extent of his 
being wronged in this respect (CRITICISING SOMEONE'S CLAIMS WHERE YOU DO NOT
EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT PERSON SAID) has been well demonstrated in this newsgroup
on my account.

Correct me if I'm wrong by publicly posting what you know about him.  As they 
say : "either put up or shut up", no more bluffing.
