I repeat. Where does he find the time.
I reject your assertions of knowledge of right and you fail to support your
claim of skill or talent in fields other than slander. If I fail to meet
your standards of proof or eloquence in debate it is because I am doing
other things. Painting a picture may not be your idea of an elegant
argument but still be worthwhile activity.
Do the others you include in WE know you are with them?
In the face of your statement of knowledge I reiterate my point "everybody
thinks they are right" and continue that they'd be rather stressed to go
around stating they were wrong. Unless the actually thought they were wrong
in which case they'd be sure in their knowledge that they were wrong.

[Hermit 1] No. Most people, including you ([David Hill 1.1] supra) think
seldom or at all. I [i]know[/i] that I am right that people have to think in
order to hold rational discourse (definitional). And I [i]know[/i] that I am
right to attempt to defend reason, experience and rationality and others
attempting the same, here and elsewhere (no alternative has ever lead to any
recorded deliberate advancement in recorded history).
[Hermit 1] As I have said - and demonstrated - I don't care what you think,
or how wrong I am on any subject. Even if you think that I am a jerk. What I
care about is that you can defend your assertions and explain why you think
as you do. Feel free.
[David Hill 1] Hey Hermie, who's WE anyway.
[Hermit 1] Anyone who thinks that an unsubstantiated negative epithet
applied to others, like an uninvited familiarity, is better described by its
common or garden name. A deliberate insult. Does that answer your question
Davie?
