And you keep putting your biases before fascts (in a deliberate way). rug Aug 2015 #28

Please don't use expressions like "sic" unless you know how to use them correctly, mr blur Aug 2015 #63

perhaps sic is replacing qed? Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #65

There are two ways to use it. rug Aug 2015 #69

His "fact" is opinion, thus "sic". rug Aug 2015 #67

LOL another rug-y "you said it, you are it" Yorktown Aug 2015 #68

That enlightened atheist you love so much is a serial plagiarist: beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #53

Whoops! Lordquinton Aug 2015 #55

Give him time. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #56

Here's that whole "Lieing about Harris" thing I was talking about Lordquinton Aug 2015 #86

Be very careful about who you're accusing of lying, Quinton. rug Aug 2015 #87

What are you gonna do, alert? Lordquinton Aug 2015 #88

What I just did, demonstrate the ignorance and biases you're peddling. rug Aug 2015 #89

But this is one room where bullshit has a short life. AlbertCat Aug 2015 #91

Given the outraged responses to this OP, I must agree. rug Aug 2015 #100

You demonstrated that you have no argument and must lie about people you hate Lordquinton Aug 2015 #99

In matters of hating people and groups, I'll defer to you. rug Aug 2015 #101

Whatever helps you sleep at night Lordquinton Aug 2015 #109

Why "especially" you? Are you "not as other men"? mr blur Aug 2015 #90

No haste at all. Once again, I appear to have swallowed your bullshit about Harris. AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #102

A/K/A covering his ass post facto. rug Aug 2015 #105

In the same paragraph, in the same print edition? AtheistCrusader Aug 2015 #108

It is like arguing with a textile floor covering. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #112

Just stop, AC. You'll never get an admission that he is wrong. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #106
