You decided to revise history instead of admitting that you were wrong (which is not surprising, actually).

You behaved dishonestly.
I am inclined to agree here. lyndonashmore, revising history is a very big no-no here. Editing is okay under limited conditions, but deleting a post when caught in a mistake?

There is enough confusion here (barely) to keep me from banning you outright. Instead I will give you a very stern warning. Don't do it again.

I also am of the opinion that you are not addressing points made very clearly, but I am not about to dredge through 22 pages of this argument to pick out every point you've dodged. But I would advise against that as well.
