That accusation is some bizarro world stuff.

Apparently, you don't know what Straw Men are even though you utilized them in your other posts, and you did so again here.

Since I am nice, I will help you with that: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Straw_man

If you offer responses to the actual content of the OP without Straw Men and other less than honest attempts to convolute things, then I'll bother to give you a reply. Since, so far, you have chosen to respond to your own imagination, I have no reason to waste my time. Quoting the article does not change the content of your straw men, and the fact that you don't seem to understand that is rather strange.

Still, thanks for the kicks.

Oh, and way to ignore the question about Samsel and Seneff.

I'm not even sure what angle that post is attempting to take. HuckleB Jul 2016 #19

I figured that, but I don't know if it's typical of that poster. HuckleB Jul 2016 #24

This is unfortunately going to fall on deaf ears (eyes?) alarimer Jul 2016 #8

And even when it doesn't, the response is Straw Man silliness. HuckleB Jul 2016 #18

I find gaps in his data and his declaration that organic gardens are 'impossible' is just silly. Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #11

And the classic straw man strikes. HuckleB Jul 2016 #12

I cited the piece you cited, just that I cited the bits you did not want to cite. Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #13

And you offer up the same straw man, again, and yet another to boot. HuckleB Jul 2016 #14

Lots of sound and fury signifiying nothing. Bluenorthwest Jul 2016 #16

No, I did not call the article a straw man. HuckleB Jul 2016 #17
