"Steve Grant" wrote in message ... (to Ivan):
Congratulations on producing a textbook example of "proof by assertion."

Unfortunately, crudely attempted "proofs by assertion" seem too fashionable
here, particularly when some writers make personal attacks on other people.

Here are two recent examples of that method:

1) On 24 July 2003, "Dr. Robert Faurisson" created the thread, "Macnab is a
liar and a snivelling coward!", in order to make a personal attack on
John Macnab. "Dr. Robert Faurisson" has provided *no evidence* that
John Macnab is "a liar" or "a snivelling coward".

2) On 13 June 2003, Tim Hanke created the thread, "Nick Bourbaki's many lies",
in order to make a personal attack on me. Like "Dr. Robert Faurisson"
with regard to John Macnab, Tim Hanke has provided *no evidence* of my
alleged "many lies" about him.

The creations of those baseless threads bring dishonour only to "Dr. Robert
Faurisson" and Tim Hanke, none to John Macnab and me.
