It is not that ‘I think’ you have contradicted statements you agreed with,

you HAVE.

 

If you ‘don’t care’ then why have you offered yet another explanation for

what you supposedly really, really meant. Next time it will be what you

really, really, really meant etc, etc, ad infinitum. Obviously you DO care

that I have exposed your self-contradictions since each time you are exposed

you change your position. If you do not think you have contradicted

yourself, and it is just my imaginings, then why not stick with what you

wrote. The fact that you keep changing your position means:

 

1)You do care (which is good because if you did not you would be loopy).

2)You realise your contradiction has been exposed.

 

Obviously you must know deep down that if you want to refute our position

you cannot do that by refuting yourself. You seem to concede this here:

I am sure you would not withdraw them unless you saw them to. So can I take

the above as an admission that you contradicted yourself twice in a row and

that you DO care really, contrary to what you claim above?
