Ron, why should I spend hours and hours of my time, which is valuable to me, hunting down reams of "facts" and "sources" to appease you, when I already know that it wouldn't do a particle of good...because you are unappeasable. LOL!!! You are, face it. I'd have to be damned silly to let you control and dictate my online activities in that fashion to utterly no purpose...and no benefit to anyone.

No one can change your mind with any facts or sources, Ron. You would reject them if you didn't like them, and you would find other "facts" and sources that you like better. My sources would not appease you in the least, although they work fine for me and many others. Your mind is already set in stone. You already know it all, so no one can tell you anything. I know that and so does anyone else who has engaged in these repetitive arguments with you.

Don't make me laugh. ;-) I am not here to act as a puppet for your every whim, or play your little mindgames, and I don't give a tinker's damn about your silly, pompous demands to other people to "prove" this or that thing to you. It's just a bunch of egotistical posturing on your part, and it doesn't matter anyway.

Suppose I were ever able to "prove" anything to you. It's highly unlikely that could ever happen! Well, if it did ever happen, it wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't accomplish anything at all. Life would go on and no one would ever care that I proved something to Ron Davies...and why ought they to?

Just say what you believe and talk about what you like. Fine with me. And I'll say what I believe and talk about what I like. If we disagree, then we disagree. So what? Neither one of us is required to PROVE anything to anyone, because nobody gives a damn if we do or not anyway, and no one ever will.

Your opinions don't matter, Ron. Mine don't either. You're just another person who likes hearing himself talk, who types a bunch of demands and polite insults online then sits back and preens himself, thinking how very clever he is, and I know that. I am unimpressed and uninterested in proving anything to you, because it's useless. I talk here simply because I like to express myself, and I don't CARE if you agree with or believe what I say.

If you are similarly unimpressed by what I say, that's fine. No problem. I don't mind, because it doesn't matter.

I will never ask you to PROVE anything you say on this forum, because,

1. It doesn't matter what you say.
2. I'm not so pompous as to constantly demand PROOF of things other people say. I respect them enough to disagree without then feeling I have the right to consign them to the category of "village idiot".

But you are that pompous as to constantly demand PROOF of things other people say, as if this were a federal court case here and something vital was to to won or lost by it. Nothing vital is to be won or lost by it. Nobody cares. Nobody ever will. You take yourself way too seriously, Ron, but mo one else around here is very likely to make that mistake.

So I pick on you from time to time because your utter pomposity and the obvious, sneering contempt you direct toward anyone of a differing opinion to yours simultaneously irritates and amuses me...depending on what mood I am in. You have given me some darn good laughs in that fashion, so it ain't all bad. ;-)
