I am trembling.... not. I am never scared about the truth. If the infomation
does not come from an original research of yours, could you please share the
references with us so that we can illustrate ourselves before mobbing you with
unfounded objections? I would rather have founded ones.
That would be most appreciated. If the info is secondary, it is not only
unnecessary, but rather suspect, that you do not share it with this newsgroup
beforehand. Of course, there is always the distinct possibility that you may
have decided that you got a "smoking gun" before you have thoroughly examined
the reference. I really hope that is not the case, because you risk putting
yourself again in the spotlight half-dressed, or even naked at all.
Please allow me (and perhaps others) to be really skeptic about
your announcement (it almost sounded like a schoolyard threat). You have
produced one "smoking gun" after another. In every case, they have been
beaten really bad by strong scientiifc arguments. In every case as well, you
have filled the screen with words like "scholarly" and "respectable" when
refferring to the very few sources you base your beliefs on. And in very few
cases (usually when the argument has already been shred to pieces) you seem to
recant and accept that, yeah, it is not that strong after all.
Give us the sources of your new smoking gun, please.
Regards,
Domingo.
