Yes. 'From' and 'to' and 'and' are words though, do you agree?

Dear Ramakanta Prabhu,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

 

When I say ‘your own words’ I obviously mean words you have agreed with, and

thus endorsed.

 

Prabhu, you have a huge mountain to climb if you ever hope to refute our

stated position. Even the GBC, which is packed to the rafters with 'gurus'

have yet to achieve this without contradicting themselves, yet you choose to

challenge such insignificant points. And thus you remain struggling to reach

even ‘base camp’.

In 2), the phrase ‘that way’ refers directly to the status quo as outlined

in 1).

 

Therefore by agreeing with 1) and 2) but then denying a causal link between

2) and 1) you have contradicted yourself again.
