Ahhhh.....so finally.  The beef is with the "accusation", which I must assume is the reference to I don't think I ever said that.  But it wouldn't be the 1st time your conclusions on my position were grossly in error.  Unless there's some other accusationS, Bt "believes" sirs was using

So, clarity was being sought after, since I rationlly believed it to be a position you were applying to me, based on the "though......." reference, but now we learn you apparently concluded it wasn't a serious request (quest) because it had the tail of grossly in error

How ironic that this is yet another erroenous assumption and dare I say, grossly in error.  And again, if provided, we wouldn't have be having this conversation.  So much for the lack of quest tactic

Unfortunately right out the gate you assumed i was assigning you a position. You didn't ask if i was doing that, you didn't seek clarity, you accused me of doing it. Right out of the gate. And you were wrong. And now you seem to be having a huge problem admitting it.

That's fine. You are consistent in refusing to acknowledge when your kneejerk reactions lead you astray.

based on your recent track record with yours posts directed at me, why wouldn't I.  You even added the qualifying "though......." reference, which merely reinforced the initial assumption


You didn't ask if i was doing that, you didn't seek clarity, you accused me of doing it. Right out of the gate.

Yep


And you were wrong.

Facilitated by your lack of providing the clarity being sought after.  Again, yep


And now you seem to be having a huge problem admitting it.

Nope.  Just redressing an issue that would have been put to rest in response number 1 or 2 to this ridicuous tangent, and highlighthing once again, the grossly in error part, you've adopted with so many of my posts, as of late.  Now with the latest being I wasn't seriously looking for clarity      oy

You didn't ask for clarity prior to accusing, did you?

Nope.

Yea, that has to be it.  Just ignore what I've said, that'll work

It is what it is. Read your post where you made the accusation. Show me where you seek clarity. You didn't.

Yea, especially read the why I made the assumption/accusation I made.  You know...for clarity.  As soon as you noted it was the wrong assumption, you could have clearly corrected it.  Could have put this to bed, in response #2.  You didn't.  But at least we now know why.  It was based on yet another erroneous assumption.  Surprise    ;)

Please show me the relationship between an accusation and a request for clarity.

Seems like you have the order backwards. It should be ask, process, decide.
You decided.
Apparently you had all the information necessary to reach your conclusion.
Unfortunately it was wrong, probably because you didn't ask for clarity.

No, the order is quite simple

Sirs' Comment on CA

Bt's vague response about futile resistance

Sirs' assumption that it was sirs' position, given Bt's recent track record with sirs' posts

Bt's 1st opportunity for clarity, and provides a vague response that it was his, though.......

Sirs' assumption made all the more solid as a result of "though.....

Bt's 2nd opportunity to clearly say it was his, and his alone......not to be seen until post#7.  I wonder what # post we're on now

So your claims to soliciting clarity is a lie because your mind was already made up?

Justifying your false conclusion is one thing, saying it was an effort to seek clarity is quite another.

Since you wish to continue to ignore what I've actually said, along with the timeline of events, and the context they've been made in, and now with the last vestage of desperation, throwing out the lying card, you are indeed done
