Thank you for the link to your blog and for the little personalized greeting posted there. After reading a bit on your blog, I believe it is more likely than not that you are not a Simon Belmont sock puppet.


Naturally not, but that was secondary to the overall purpose of trying to avoid dealing with the lack of knoweldge of the region in which you supposedly lived. Could you address this now that your accusation is determined Old Testament be baseless?

Consider...

You claim to have lived in the Middle East, but demonstrate negative knowledge of the region.
You claimed I was someone, and it should be rather clear from reading the posts of Simon Belmont, that I am not he.

Your powers of discernment are clearly somewhat suspect. These are only two data points, but there seems to be little in the way of logical deduction or analysis in your commentary. 0 for 2 is hardly a good starting point.


The above post was an apparently futile attempt to demonstrate to you that a reasonable individual can alter their position accordingly when presented with new evidence - an object lesson you have yet to learn, it seems.

I suppose one could just as well claim the real problem is that I have not yet learned to stop feeding trolls.

Dr. W,

Dude. You clearly don't understand who you're dealing with. And yes, the psychotic behavior of your Mormon apologist extends to an exhaustive fabrication of his identity and online behavior. You really ought to cut sling on this guy.

Thanks, Doc.

After this last little exchange, I have to agree with you. A sling-cut is the only reasonable course of action at this point.

If feeding continues, he might become a real danger to himself as well as others.

Yes, it would be far too difficult to simply explain why you know nothing about somewhere you claimed to have lived. Complex conspiracy theories are necessary to avoid addressing the uncomfortable? You realize that compared to your predilection for the absurdly complicated explanation, a divine figure being raised from the dead is really rather tame.

As amusing as the the "Spike and Chester" routine is, seeing it played out by the two "Doctors" on this thread as well as others is sad.
However, it seems that they are consistently relying on labeling anyone who does not agree with them as "trolls"....an effort to maintain their indignant posture to say the least.

I don't think so. I do not think it is a disagreement issue, it is a threat issue. Consider, what if Dr. W actually DID know something about the Middle East. I would probably not be called a troll, he would insult and demean, but this would support the overall goal of inflating his ego. It is only when the underlying ego is threatened, since Dr. W does not know anything and the intellectul deficit is available for all to see, that an automatic effort to dismiss is utilized. Dr. W spoke about Oman, he wrote about it, and now simple questions make him look completely uninformed. This is a serious threat, and admitting that he is relatively uninformed will not work, the entire point is supporting the idea that he is discerning, he is intelligent, he has a PhD, patents, big brain pan. No one touts their intelligence that much without having some serious underlying insecurity issues.

The problem is psychological, at least in my opinion.

hmmm....you worship IBM, you look to IBM for moral guidance, and you draw on IBM for spiritual insight....got it!

(the irony...we should thank God for IBM?)

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M. So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide To keep me alive-just keep me alive Somewhere to hide to keep me alive.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

so, if the album concept is correct...Kilroy is the guy who escaped prison inside a robot costume.

So, when you you throw away your mask we will all see that you are Kilroy?
