I have got some private emails form people who have visited this forum and yet they have put a block on their email account so that I cannot reply. So, they ignore me.

There is a word for someone who ignores information. Can you tell me what that word is? How would you call someone who ignores?
I have sent you email after email after email stating my position and referring you to links with additional information.

I have a dozen examples of messages I sent you that were lengthy and detailed, that you DELETED the body of when you replied to them and said things to me like:

This posting supports my belief.

You know, I did not mention Lance by name.

Taking things out of context is a juvenile tactic.

This is in response to a poll Lance started that is the logic equivalant of "does it matter if we ever see faries as long is we believe that they are really there".

This was in response to him accusing me of believing everything I see on TV. It is a joke. I am talking about Gilligans Island, of course.

You know, posting emails is a violation of this web site. But since, I doubt you would mind, I will do so.

Lance thinks PBS and The Discovery Channel and Fox are in the same boat as far as credibility is concerned.

I will post that email exchange here soon.

An honest question.

He did not answer.

But once again, he takes things out of context.

I responded to his email about a newspaper article about some interview that someone made with an Apollo Astronaut. This astronaut believes that the government is hiding alien bodies.

When Lance asked if I believe it, the only answer I gave was, "sure, I believe that maybe an astronaut might believe that the government is hiding alien bodies."

But Lance thought that I was agreeing with the astronaut.

So, naturally I would have to ask Lance about his reading comprehension skills.

It is only logical and natural that I would wonder about that.
