Ah, starting a post with both an insult and a lie. How utterly unsurprising.
Yes my building is a few storys shorter than I stated.
When I made that post, I was focusing on what I felt was of interest, the fact that architecturally my building was engineered the same way as WTC 1 and WTC 2.
Lie number two.
In typical twoofer fashion, that's a nice attempt at revisionism,
Miragememories. Unfortunately for you, the JREF forum is not like the tinhat forum that you call home, and embarrassing posts here do not go down the memory hole, so people can read what actually transpired for themselves, no matter how much you try to revise history later.*
It was not a matter of a single post you made, nor was it a matter of one building being a few storeys shorter than you stated. Rather, it was a matter of you claiming to work in one of two "twin towers" in Toronto, each 22 storeys tall, each built in the early 1970s of similar construction to that of the WTC Twin Towers, and a matter of you claiming to have been in the 22nd floor stairwell of one of them (in which you claimed to work) while, in fact, no buildings such as you described actually exist in Toronto.
When I pointed out that the information you'd posted was incorrect (i.e., that there are no 22 storey tall "twin towers" in Toronto; that the buildings you referred to by address were actually 6 storeys and 18 storeys tall respectively; and that one of them was built in the late 1980s, not in the early 1970s even though you insisted otherwise), and when I provided incontrovertible evidence of this, you claimed not only that I was wrong but that I was
so wrong that my credibility should be called into question about anything I post. (Oh, the irony!) You further claimed that you would return with evidence to prove me wrong.
Of course, you never did return with any evidence to prove me wrong because I had already provided facts and evidence that proved my claims to be entirely accurate and beyond dispute.
As for the construction, which you claimed was similar to the WTC towers, when you were asked specifically about those claims, you did not respond to the inquiries.
The exactness of the height was irrelevant but for some reason you considered this to be nothing less than an error in the first degree.
Lie number 3.
Another attempt at revisionism on your part but, fortunately, the entire thread is still there for anyone to read, so you really should stop digging when you're already in a deep hole.
Your numerous errors and unfounded assertions are
very relevant to your inability to get facts right, and very relevant to your propensity for accusing others without any basis in fact or reality.
It is very telling that you insisted, without any evidence whatsoever, and
in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, that the facts and evidence I presented were wrong, while in reality, it was
you who was entirely wrong.
It is also very telling that not even incontrovertible evidence could sway you from your unfounded beliefs, and it is very telling that instead of researching the matter - which would have taken only a few minutes since I had already provided you with all the links and evidence necessary to do so - you chose instead to spend much
more time clinging to your unfounded beliefs.
There is value in the exercise as it exposed the reality that even in the face of incontrovertible evidence, you refused to admit you were wrong, you failed or refused to provide evidence to support your unfounded claims, and you failed or refused to retract your unsupported claims.
Just as you continue to do with respect to your numerous tinhat claims and unfounded assertions.
Now had you accused me of being wrong about the building architecture, your point would have had some value.
Lie number 4.
You
were asked about the architecture that you alleged, and you were asked to provide the photographs that you alluded to, but you did not respond to those questions. You still haven’t, in fact.
So, how about it?
So I ignored the little building between the one I work in and the comparable adjoining tower north of me.
Lie number 5.
No, you didn't "ignore" it. Rather, you
insisted that the building at 2190 Yonge was 22 storeys tall, and you claimed that I didn’t know what I was talking about when I told you - and proved to you - that it is only 6 storeys tall.
The building at 2200 Yonge is not 22 storeys tall either, but 17 storeys tall as I previously established, and it wasn’t built in the 1970s as you claimed, but in 1962-3, as I also previously established.
In other words,
every single claim that you made about any and all of these three buildings was wrong and/or unsubstantiated by you.
Every single one.
Taking the 3rd floor connecting corridor, one is never really aware of that small building in the middle.
What complete and utter nonsense.
You were right, I was wrong.
Finally!
And it only took you
six months to eventually admit it.
Better late than never, though.
Oh, look. An immediate and entirely disingenuous attempt to pretend that you finally admitting that you were wrong somehow equates to a call for your head on a pike.
How pathetic, and how sadly unsurprising.
The truth is out, I make mistakes.
Oh, look, another entirely disingenuous statement. How pathetic, and how sadly unsurprising.
However, this particular truth (that you make mistakes) has been evident here for a long, long time. There has never been even a second's doubt of it, and you continue to reinforce it with nearly every post you write.
At least you
finally admitted to
one of your many, many mistakes (even though while doing so, you have pretended that there was only
one mistake at issue while, in reality, there were
several).
I hope that in 2008, you will get better at acknowledging and admitting to your mistakes. Happy New Year.
