    Saying something is well-known does not make it so.

    I don't like hyperbole and that is what you engage in.

    You also fail to answer direct questions.

    By golly I think you have a career in politics!
    No, actually I am now failing to answer direct questions that have already been repeatedly answered. The first few times an answer is ignored and the same questions are just rephrased a bit tends to take some of the fun out of the debate.



    Perhaps I am guilty of hyperbole, but that is a much more acceptable form of bad debate manners than the ad hominem attacks you seem to favor.

    How are you supposed to debate the issues with someone who only responds with "Nah, that sounds bad, I'll pretend it is a complete lie and just insult you instead"???

    In my experience Sophist, this means the other party has nothing to counter your points with. Basically, you are "winning" the debate.

    Thats true.....especially with who you have been arguing with Sophist.
    Get used to her style of answering questions with a question.
    I'd agree with Puck....you're miles ahead.

    You do some mighty fine ad hominen yourself! Your trick to not answer questions is interesting...When did I say "Nah, that sounds bad, I'll pretend it is a complete lie and just insult you instead?"

    I have asked you to prove your statement that Hillary claimed to be a Jew. I asked you to prove your statement that Hillary claimed to be a long-term resident of New York (yes, I know she put on a Yankees hat and we all know she is a Cubs fan... ) I asked you WHERE I ever supported Hillary as a candidate.

    You answered none of these questions. Instead you suggested anyone who disagrees with your assessment does not know, has not studied, etc, etc. "please, please, please".......and of course...."no, not in those exact words..."
