While it was clearly presented by you as being completely factual and unedited, I have absolutely no recollection of having ever made the statement credited to me. If my memory serves me correctly (and I believe it does), you are crediting me with something that I never said or even implied.

In the (extremely) unlikely event my memory does not serve me correctly, you can easily rectify the situation by doing the following:

Please provide the actual link where you found the following quoted material attributed directly to me:

(Here's what I actually said, UNEDITED!)

herefacechair, you are probably correct in saying that the "guys with the white smocks are coming after" somebody.

And you happen to be the Idiot they are coming after!

bigLIAR, where, in that post, do I "clearly" present that parodied post of yours as completely factual and unedited? The only way that you could present that argument is if you EDITED my quote to remove my actual comments. If you didn't edit out what I said, you'd have your answer.

In fact, you wouldn't have had a need to generate your most previous reply. You must have some shitty memory if you can't even remember everything that you've read. If my memory serves me correctly (and I believe it does), I put the following statement in my quote:

Fixed to reflect accuracy.

Extremely unlikely event that your memory doesn't serve you correctly? I'll tell you what's up. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that your memory serves you correctly, and that you saw that quote of mine saying, "Fixed to reflect accuracy," clearly communicating the fact that I changed the contents of the post that you actually made.

But, with no other form of recourse, you decide to LIE about what happened, and accuse me of doing something that my memory tells me I didn't do. Therefore, the question that you asked is a red herring question that addresses an issue that my memory accurately identifies as a non-issue in my previous post.

Now, if you honest to God think that I did what you're accusing me of doing, you're the idiot that needs to worry about the folks with the white smocks coming after you. I could tell, by your reactions, that I got you good with that parodied post.

Also, if it's unacceptable practice to alter what has been quoted in a quoted text, where where you when I put "Red Herring, Strawman, or Repeat Point" statements within people's quotes? They most certainly didn't make those statements within their quotes, where were you when I did that throughout the thread? Was it because your memory was slow, or was it because I actually got you with that one post?

Why did you delete that section from your own post? Is it because the "extremely unlikely event" that your memory didn't serve you well ended up becoming a likely event?

At any rate, I put my applicable statement back in, no need to "find the link where you said that."

Also, until you answer my questions truthfully, factually, and without your BS, you don't have a leg to stand on demanding that I find something for you, or to even answer any of your questions.

So here they are again:

"Our common security is challenged by regional conflicts -- ethnic and religious strife that is ancient but not inevitable. In the Middle East, there can be no peace for either side without FREEDOM for both sides." -- George Bush, 2002 (Emphasis mine)

I'm going to keep asking you this question for as long as you insist on replying to me or as long as you insist on replying to something I argued:

So bigtex, were you wrong when you insisted that WMD was the ONLY reason for us going into Iraq? YES [ ] NO [ ]

Where you wrong when you insisted that they were ONLY searching for nuclear weapons? YES [ ] NO [ ]

Copy and paste these questions, and answer options, to your reply. Put an "X" in the options that represents your honest opinion. Don't add any further information to your reply.
