Re: Nathanial Woods - state sanctioned murder.

I think this goes beyond the level of a simple mistake. And I doubt that it’s the only example of that.

Re: Making a Murderer, Making One Cynical EvC Member

Nothing new in this but the film series is bringing out things I've been through for years. Not that I care a whole lot about myself although of course that has to be part of it..
I guess you must feel for the prosecutors. While they got away with it for a time they were eventually exposed. You don’t get away with it much, although I can remember a few instances of foolishly assuming that you were representing your sources accurately.
quote:
... I don't care that much about me despite all the snark I get along those lines, the disappointing thing is the unfairness itself, the fact that ideology prevails no matter what
The truth seems to keep winning. Sorry you don’t like that. The why should we prefer to believe your inventions ?
quote:
And saying this, which I do from time to time, only gets more of the same snark, unfairness and ideological stupidity I'm talking about
Because you are lying. And obviously so.
I mean you tell us that there is something absurd about rocks representing a time period. But you can’t say what is wrong with the idea that rocks consist of material that was deposited in a particular period of time or that we can derive evidence about that time from the rocks. Which is all it is. Offering a silly strawman would be one thing but you haven’t even managed to produce that.
There is nothing unfair in our rejection of that claim. Ideology - other than a concern for the truth - has no part in it.
quote:
It's tempting over and over again to try to get through such falseness and find out that people really aren't that closed in their little boxes after all, but it keeps turning out that they are.
Except you never identify any real falseness. You just stick yourself in your little box and refuse to let the truth get in. Let us not forget that you are the one who tries to exclude evidence.
quote:
And here comes the tit for tats and all the rest of it. Retch.
Yeah, the truth makes you sick. What a surprise.
