"Conspicuously failing to support" their charges against me has been a
universally consistent characteristic of trolls such as Tim Hanke,
Stan Booz, "Briarroot", Greg Kennedy ("NoMoreChess"), and Lance Smith
("Liam Too").

I posted only once on the above mentioned subject to drahmiel, but I
couldn't find any charge that I made against you.

Lance Smith ("Liam Too") should be well aware that recently he has made some
charges against me *outside of this thread*, particularly in the thread,
"Dazed and Confused". Louis Blair, Mark Houlsby, and I already have confuted
Lance Smith's charges against me therein.

It's not that I don't want to be in the group that you stated above because
contrary to your belief, IMO, they are all intelligent debaters, who in one
way or another would oppose each other at a drop of a hat, in numerous
subjects, if their beliefs are in contrast with the other.

Contrary to what Lance Smith evidently misunderstood, I did *not* write that
Tim Hanke, Stan Booz, "Briarroot", Greg Kennedy ("NoMoreChess") and Lance Smith
("Liam Too") must have *identical beliefs on every subject*. Indeed, I have
noticed some disputes among them on some issues.

Perhaps all those supposedly "intelligent debaters" should appreciate the
sheer intellectual brilliance of this post by Lance Smith ("Liam Too"):

"Then Bobby Fischer is a very normal politician."
--Lance Smith (9 September 2003)

The bottom line is that like I said before, I will not stoop down to
your level and resort to name calling like you did above.

Lance Smith prefers to resort to trolling me elsewhere and then here
evidently denying any knowledge of his trolling me elsewhere.

Not every post.

Evidently, Kevin L. Bachler has acknowledged that he is not omniscient.

If God is omniscient, then
1) Kevin L. Bachler is not God, or 2) God is not always truthful.

At least, however, I can actually read the ones I do read.

Does Kevin Bachler believe in an ontological proof for the existence of God? :-)

'Nothing'? Not even divine intervention? Surely, Sam Sloan's existence
cannot be evidence that God is not omnipotent, can it? :-)

Sam would never receive divine intervention.

Yes. Things can be measured there as well.

As far as I know, Kevin Bachler has written in this thread about his beliefs
in relation to the existence of God. So why should Kevin Bachler imply that
my question about whether or not he believes in an 'ontological proof' must
be off-topic?
