It's not even the first time you read the falsification description that you had demanded. Are you connected enough to reality to actually see how disrespectful and insulting this is? You are one set of traits for when its about coddling people through your steps and selling your theory. But you sat there and let me sweat trying to repeat myself endlessly. I think you think, a lot different than you've managed to sell to people. Don't bother denying and pretending you did read...do it for non-judgemental rapture of the others. I know you didn't, because I know you never changed your line one bit...never acknowledged the position, never explained why it wrong, or right. Never even tried...even superficiously to walk me or anyone through your claims, and my theory in parallel, demonstrating the connectors. There's a bit more, or less, to you than the angelic self-depracting front. Something of the Night > > > > > But...the truth is no one minded too much PGC's attacks on me.
