What we see here (Barry is SO transparent!), and throughout this post, is Barry attempting to discredit my criticisms of him by claiming, essentially, that there are no such things as facts, and that therefore it's outrageous for me to point out that he is chronically and viciously dishonest. <snip> > To win her compulsive arguments, she almost > always falls back on citing some "authority." Such as, for instance, citing the archives of this forum as the "authority." If he claims I said X, and I quote myself as having said Y--something that anybody can verify for themselves--somehow, in Barry's mind, the fact that I said Y has "no more validity or value or 'truth'" in it than his claim that I said X. <snip> > The thing is, the whole *reasoning* is bent. > Sane people just don't automatically believe > what someone else says. Stupid people and > cultists do that. And if you're going to automatically believe what Barry says, I have some perfectly lovely swampland in Florida you might be interested in.
