Bloody hell, mate.
I decided to trust you on not tiptoeing around DFG since you made a good argument. Are you saying I shouldn't have?
The "full of shit" expression is just that, an expression, just like "get a life" is. Yet you seem to treat both as if they somehow were instrumental to my claiming you were intellectually dishonest.
This literal-mindedness then leads you to searching the board for instances of me using "full of shit", and spotting a couple of them where I said Cal was full of shit. He was, frequently, and admitted as much. But I moved on, and he moved on. You, however, seem unable to.
And then there is this obligation/wrath of the community thing. Here is the thing: I'm betting that if the community really thought I hadn't backed up my stuff, we would have heard about it. We haven't.
And finally, the bullshit you say you're smelling, I don't think the smell is from this direction. You might want to check your own trail first.
Indeed the reason you have given for my apparent intellectual dishonest is to say that Zegh is full of shit without reading him (thus knowing for sure) therefore ..... intellectual dishonest"
I am happy to reference it with quotes you made to that effect.
I actually agree that they are just expressions. I also agree that I am not intellectually dishonest for making such proclamations about Zegh without reading him any more.
In fact all the above is my point. I am not intellectually dishonest for not reading Zegh.
I'm glad you agree with the above. Especially the last bit.
None of it was an argument for or against your intellectual dishonesty, though.
Correct. You made no argument for me being intellectually dishonest. The argument you had against me you have stepped away from. The very last one was that I was intellectually dishonest because on one hand I proclaimed Zegh "full of shit" but did not read him, so therefore could not know for sure".
Now with your agreement with me that "full of shit" is a mere expression, you've stepped away from that too.
You are now holding an empty sack
