"YOU CANNOT WIN when debating those whose mind is made up at the beginning....all you can do it put some reasonable points out so that others might see them.... and several have done a pretty good job of that."
Exactly so, Bill. I'm not so foolish that I think I can change the minds of people like Ake and GfS. They have their agenda and they will not waver from it. My concern (and I don't really think I have to continue being that concerned) is the confusion of the innocents – trying to set the record straight for any who might by impressed by Ake's "statistics" and GfS's claim that s/he knows because s/he's a "counselor." Neither has demonstrated that they are competent at their claimed professions. Quite the contrary.
Hell's bells, I've got a life to lead. I really don't need to dedicate my life to repeatedly refuting the perpetually recycled ravings of a couple of – here's the dreaded word again – bigots.
(Sorry, Little Hawk, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.)
