Meert / Brown Debate

"In my initial post I included direct quotes from the website, word for word!!!! I copied and pasted them into my message and I attributed them to his website. The words I pasted on are the EXACT WORDS HE USED!!!!! Got that?"
That is a lie. Those words in quotes do not show up anywhere on Walt's site. Try searching for "rock doesn't bend" in quotes on the google box in the bottom of Walts site. Hah. Try even searching for "Rock doesn't." Don't accuse people of lying, make a deal out of it, and then turn around and do it yourself. I used the same tactic you used on him to catch you doing the same thing. Tsk tsk tsk.Your argument can't hold anything. Maybe you should "tear your hair out" rethinking your statements so that they make some sense. Or just learn how to read. That would work too.

Hah, you obviously didn't read my post. I didn't say all of the quotes were lies, I said that one of the quotes from his first post was completely made up.You big literal face. Seems to me that this question is probably hypothetical... Hmm, could be wrong, but I don't know how he can contradict himself in a hypothetical question.Please don't take your literal face and stick it in a dictionary to look up the word probably. Probably is a sarcastic way of saying that it is pretty obvious that this is a hypothetical question.Surely you're joking crashfrog. EDIT: The quote I am referring to is "rock doesn't bend" in post number 7. This is not found anywhere on Walt's site. I assume that he incorrectly interpreted the hypothetical question to mean "rock doesn't bend," then put it in quotes, and claimed it to be "exact" words from the site.[This message has been edited by mf, 03-24-2004]

Haha! How wasn't it a quote? What was the difference between that block of text in between quotes, and the other block of text right next to it that was in between quotes?He said that both of them were direct quotes. He obviously is leaving out the part that the first one is not a direct quote, rather, it is a misinterpretation of a hypothetical question posed by Dr. Walter Brown.In case you still don't believe that Trixie could have possibly made up a false quote, I have quoted it myself!FROM POST 7

Whatever, Walt says "Rock doesn't bend like putty" then later he states "Granite bends like putty". Now either he's contradicting himself within a single argument, or granite isn't rock.

Here is his reference to this later on, claiming that he quoted all info "word for word."FROM POST 34

In my initial post I included direct quotes from the website, word for word!!!! I copied and pasted them into my message and I attributed them to his website. The words I pasted on are the EXACT WORDS HE USED!!!!! Got that? Not my interpretation of them, but HIS OWN ACTUAL WORDS!!!!!"

Well, an analysis of this section of text reveals the use of the words "direct" and "quotes" together implies that he is talking about plural quotes as opposed to one single quote. Since there are only 2 quotes in his initial post, we can infer that he was talking about "Rock doesn't bend like putty" when he was talking about direct quotes. Perhaps it was an accident. I do not know. But it certainly is not the way that you seem to think.

And how is my argument not researched? I own Walt's book. I am not saying anything without direct evidence for what I say (as far as I can see, correct me if I am wrong [correct me with evidence too; you haven't really given me any reason to believe that what you are saying is any more valid than what I am saying]).

Haha true.
