The problem is that if he had said "I am not aware of", it would not have made his original argument and it would not have served his main purpose of belittling Kevin's argument. It also would not have pissed me off.

The fact is that Kevin was absolutely correct. There are nutters out there willing to claim almost everything. The Psych wards are full of people convinced that they are Jesus and Napoleon. To state categorically that it did not happen in several well known cases. is very reckless and arrogant. Is it not?

I also remember reports of different "groups" claiming responsibility for the 1993 bombing. Of course I do not remember the details. Such claims even then were common, even then they were little more than background noise.

Teribus has called me a bigot, he says I am a bigot because I am prejudiced against his ideas. That is not the definition I use for the word "bigot" is it yours?

This exchange has convinced me that Teribus, like many of his unfortunate political persuasion, is a Bull Shitter, talking in scientifically measured prose but pulling data out of his arse or out of the arses of the right wing xenophobic arseholes he likes to listen to on the radio. We should all take everything he says with a large grain of salt.
