Misdirection, red herrings,
tu quoque, meaningless. Typical fare. As anyone can see I thanked you for your apology and pointed out that given its wording it could be construed as sarcasm. I wouldn't call that a spit in he face by any stretch. But again, the Scratchian hyperbole goes on.
Anyways, sure I would have, Mak. You didn't present any evidence beyond your very subjective personal testimony, though. I found that hypocritical, given how often you have harped on the notion of "objectivity" in this thread. Will you concede that you have behaved hypocritically? I rather doubt it.
I hope he doesn't concede such a thing because it's a patently false allegation.
What "suspicion"? That DCP was "comped" this book due to being a Mopologist? Well, Maklelan, I never "suspected" that that was the case! I *wondered* if it might be, but, thanks to you, I think we can now lay that "wonderment" to rest.
Again, you attempted to use this instance to smear Peterson, admitted such, and then proceeded to dissemble.
Really? What do you want me to concede? I'm a humble chap---I'll gladly do it. You're wrong about me, by the way: I don't have anything against you. Will you concede that you're wrong about it?
You have something against those who defend Dan Peterson. As maklelan was so doing, you were so holding against.
Sure, Mak. I'd be glad to. What is it that you want me to concede? That DCP's status as a Mopologist played no role whatsoever in his receiving a discount on the book? Well...okay. I don't know that that is 100% the case, but if it will help you to view me in a less hateful light, then sure: I happily concede.
What was the purpose of this thread, and what was its conclusion?
