No. You claimed, incorrectly that:
P
anella is the climber in the video. I pointed out that he is, in fact, 4
cm, or 1.5in, taller than Guede. Anticipating that you would object that he was still taller than Guede, I also pointed out, sourced from a perfectly reputable journal, and reported on in that hotbed of racism and bigotry,
Slate magazine, that Africans tend to have longer arms that Caucasians, my intended point being that their difference in reach was likely less than their 1.5in height difference would suggest:
You, however, displaying your usual level of reading comprehension, totally missed the
hilited, and responded as follows:
Why don't you explain why you decided to write this incredibly dishonest response based on my merely saying Guede likely had "longer" arms? That's a direct question; kindly answer. And note that I didn't say he likely had longer arms that Panella; I said he likely had longer arms than a Caucasian
of the same height.
Further, I never wrote anything comparing Guede to Delfo; you just pulled that out of an orifice so you could try to keep the canard where I was somehow implying that Guede must have "extraordinarily long arms" alive. (Likely because you did, finally, grudgingly, acknowledge your error about the height difference between Guede and Panella after two or three other people had pointed it out to you.)
See above.
I stand by my assertion, and everyone else reading the thread can see what my point was, and how you attempted to twist it, just as I predicted you would.
I said no such thing; you behaved more-or-less as I predicted, although I wasn't expecting you to be so dishonest about it.
As you know, the search function is disabled. I did find one post where someone quoted you accusing several posters of going all "macho" on you, however, the link to that post is broken, which likely means it was AAHed. And even if search were enabled, that and any other posts that were sent to AAH would not be searchable, either from within the forum or from without.
I'm really glad I have Amazon Prime; it's saved me so much shipping on replacement irony meters lately.
Several of your recent posts in this thread suggest otherwise.
Despite your repeated claims to the contrary, no one is attempting to stop you from replying. Pointing out the inaccuracies, logical errors, and, in some cases, rank dishonesty in your posts does not constitute an attempt to silence you.
By falsely accusing me of racism.
Further, as has been pointed out to you in the past, this is a skeptics' forum. If you don't want your views challenged, then you shouldn't express them here. And, finally, as usual, you are not the teacher here.
This was a
non sequitur the first however many time you said it, and it's still a
non sequitur.
As has also been pointed out to you in the past, no one here feels threatened by your conspiracy theories or other misapprehensions. That's just the usual woo-woos' attempt to pretend that they've got their critics running scared because they can't handle the truth.
What we generally feel is some mixture of amusement, exasperation, and annoyance (and occasional anger, as when victims' graves are pissed on
).
