No davey--I know that you know the Sgt. Schultzes here...

No witty quotes. I think for myself.

Obviously I've never seen them behave as you've claimed they behave or I wouldn't be asking you for evidence, so no, I don't know these hypothetical people as "Sgt. Schultzes." Please name names. There's no reason for you to be timid, as I'm sure these people that you claim I know (if they are, indeed, people I know) would want to know that they believe something as you claim they do.

Sorry, davey. I'm not going to do your research for you. If you want to find out who they are, read through old posts.

You're the one making the claim that there are "Sgt. Shultzes" posting here, and that I know them. It's your claim, it's up to you to support it with evidence. Your attempt to shift the burden of proof has failed.

Much against my better judgement, Ergo, I have done your research for you. After exhaustive reading and searching, I have concluded that there are no Sgt. Schultzes here. Now, prove that ain't so.

Yet another evidence-free assertion.

Apparently, we both missed them.

I don't think you did. You sure can't prove it from your results.

Welcome to grammar school, folks!

As you can see, the children are having fun with our modern playground facilities. After recess, we'll give them all some Ritalin and that will keep them quiet and manageable until their parents come to get them a little later on.

I have provided as much proof for the existence of Sgt. Schultzes as you have for your categories.

Half Mooner,

Excellent analysis of the various threads of late. I, too, had similar thoughts about each poster's similarities (except for the New Age psychic-I must be completely ignoring that thread) and their stubborn and obstinate refusal to objectively look at their philosophical stances.

But you have done an outstanding job at precisely illustrating their myopic foibles with far more depth and eloquence than I could have.

Well stated post all around.

"What? Oh, oh, 'just rebuild it'? Oh, real [bleep]ing original. And who's gonna give me a loan, jackhole? You? You got an ATM on that torso LiteBrite?"

Certainly, Gorgo! That's another reason we need to keep our skeptical senses honed at all times, and try to recognize fallacies in our own reasoning, and in that of others. We should consider this a lifetime challenge, with no final victory, but hopefully with a lot of small triumphs along the way.
