No, you obviously don't, because you yourself just employed another Strawman.

Sardonica said:Nope. What I meant to say, and in fact already did say, it that it's futile arguing with you because every time anyone says anything that you don't agree with, you accuse thm of illogic, invoking a strawman, or both.
It's tiresome.

Lets keep a perspective on the discussion at hand. Reviewing the anomilies of the offical stance on the holocaust and debunking the theories that stand against it with facts.
Instead of bitch slapping eachother in the playground lets get this back on track!
Always fun when the uneducated school drop-out Menty takes the hard-line stance with the intelligent folk and pushes them back into line![]()
Sardonica said:With this, I agree unequivocally. I just find it amusing that you've got the dynamics of it turned completely ass-backward.

Sardonica said:Okay, TQ first. Simply because I don't have the time to go through all these threads and try to sort out the red herrings, strawmen, theories, and alleged "facts."
I'll offer this much to start: I am in 100% agreement with TQ that Holocaust deniers should not be prosecuted or persecuted for speaking their beliefs.
I also respect TQ's wit, and his writing (especially the stuff he emailed me a while back), his participation in the Writer's Group, and the board in General. I like him, and if ever in his area (or he in mine) would love to hang out with him.
And I'll make one other claim. TQ has claimed that he's read more on this subject (Holocaust denial) than anyone ese here. Perhap this is true. But I make a similar claim: I have read more and done more hands-on research into paranormal/conspiracy subculture, belief systems, brainwashing and cult sociology, recruiting techniques, and subculture mentality than anyone here. I have a very firm grasp on how pseudo-logic can feed the need to believe, how belief systems (including conspiracy beliefs, TQ) can be viral, how double-talk (and strawmen) can be used effectively, and how subculture folklore and mythology can insidiously replace historical fact.
