If you watch the video I will stop everything and transcribe the video.

Fair?

3rd post 3 - 6 minutes.

No, you're severely underestimating my reading and typing speeds, as well as the other things I'm doing. I also didn't ask for a full transcription, only a summary.

I disagree that boobquake had much of any cause and effect.

Despite the person responsible for both Boobquake and A+ saying so?

But the video I posted makes a cause and effect argument that I think most honest people would find compelling.

How much time have you spent now posting when you could have simply summarised the argument for everyone here?

I know you didn't ask for that. I offered to show that I'm willing to invest my time to advance the discussion and you are not.

4 - 8 minutes.

I apologize, I'm confused. If Joseph Smith said he found gold plates then it's true? Or am I missing something?

I've offered to transcribe the entire video. I did so because I want you to watch the video.

Doesn't really matter. This will go on for hours.

5 - 10 minutes.

You're suggesting that Jen McCreight is making it up, or what, by this analogy? She's unreliable, but conservapedia is a trustworthy source?

Why do you doubt the significance of Boobquake, and the reaction to it that Jennifer experienced? I'm not saying that Boobquake alone was the cause, either, but that was the event that made her visible, and exposed her to the idiots who think it's funny to send abusive messages.

I really don't care whether you transcribe the whole video or not. If you want a discussion of the argument, then make it. This is a text based discussion forum. If I wanted to be discussing things via videos, I'd be over on youtube. Videos are, in general, a very inefficient way of conveying an argument.

5 - 10 minutes.

When did I say you had to take conservapedia's word for something?

It's moot as I've agreed that boobquake was a precursor for the sake of this discussion.

More moving the goal posts. It's a 7 minute video. I'm asking you as a favor to watch it. I'm offering to give up a sizable portion of my time to do something I don't want to do to get you to watch the video.

You don't have to. Perhaps your NEW objections are valid. Still...

6 - 12 minutes.

Then why are you still trying to argue that Rebecca and Elevatorgate were the cause?

No new objections, just enlarging on the ones already given.

Why don't you just explain?

Wow, you demand things so glibly but you can't take 7 minutes out of your time to watch a video? Jesus Christ.

Every event is preceded by other events. Boobquake didn't directly precipitate events. Some precursors are major. Some are minor. I'm willing to concede that boobquake was a minor precursor. It certainly had no immediate or significant effect as it relates to EG.

But I'm happy to concede that it had some contribution though obviously minor.

8 - 16 minutes.

That was posted at 12:35 PM.

It's now 3:12.

In two and a half hours you couldn't spare 7 minutes to watch a video. But you sure had plenty of time to explain why you wouldn't watch the video.

Elevatorgate Timeline
Click to expand...

OMFSM Rebecca is faceblind (sufffers from ProsopagnosiaWP). Didn't know that. Seems the man in the elevator had been talking with her at the bar right before the invitation for coffee. Rebecca mistook him for a stranger. Her discomfort was due to her brain defect. I wonder how many other brain defects or downright phobias or emotional problems are involved in this nightmare.

Either that or she was drunk.

11 - 27 minutes.

What nexus in particular are you implying? All I see in the video is a plausible explanation of the "Dear Muslima" dismissive response from Dawkins in which the speaker goes back to the conference at Dublin and Watson's ad hominem response to Paula Kirby.

By the way, I found it interesting that in Zooterkin's link "elevatorgate" appears more times than "boobquake" (not to mention "elevator" alone).

Elevatorgate is some sort of improvised publicity stunt that progressed as the events unraveled, a publicity that helped a lot pave the way for A+.

Jen McCreight said "go", but Elevatorgate had previously increased the demand for it.

I'm sorry? What exactly do you think I'm talking about?
