    That you think this is even still open for debate shows how out of touch you are. The fact is, there was no evidence that it was Kavanaugh, and quite a lot of evidence that it wasn't. We are certain of that. The only thing we are uncertain of is whether Ford was willfully lying, or if she was being manipulated and coerced into "remembering" events that never happened.

      If people explained his facts were wrong, and supplied links he would reply "Assertion without evidence"

      Then he would crow that he was great and nobody could ever counter what he said in the thread.
      Wasn't he also inclined to say "argument by link" when links were supplied, and refuse to look at them? Or was that someone else? I'm starting to forget.

        Not sure. He leaned heavily on "assertion without evidence" but regardless it was all a move to dismiss arguments without ever dealing with them.

And the only reason I gave the example was that I was accused of presenting a no win situation by saying that if those doing the Arizona audit, who expect to find fraud, and who will be greatly rewarded if thy find fraud, could be able to be judged honest if they announced they did not find fraud. Unfortunately, I need to accept the fact that making any sort of nuanced observation on this website is not likely to induce anything but a hostile and derogatory response and therefore simply isn't worth noting.
          No, sorry. Your long-winded example was justification for judging the investigation based on prior beliefs. In almost any situation you look at, people have incentives to lean one way or another. So you needn't have bothered with your Santa Claus example (which was an obvious ploy to introduce a ridiculous conclusion against all other conclusions).

          And my response was neither "hostile" nor "derogatory." Coming from the person who called me "despicable" for merely pointing out that Howard University discriminates enrollment based on race, I find your delicate sensitivities unconvincing anyway.

            For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

            Oh - of course. Exactly.

            A lack of evidence is not "evidence that it wasn't". And if there are reasons to doubt Ford, there are just as many to doubt Kavanaugh - though I have no intention of rehashing that topic with you.

              We agree the time I spent composing my analogy was wasted.

              IIRC that is not a completely accurate description of how that went down, but you obviously took it personally. And I can apologize if I directly called you despicable. I am actively trying to avoid that sort of thing and will gladly apologize for any time I've said such things in the past.

              However, if I said an opinion or idea was despicable and the statement was not aimed at you directly, that's a little bit different in that I can be sorry it offended you but may still agree with the assessment of the idea or opinion.

                Which is why I also mentioned that there was evidence supporting Kavanaugh's innocence, not least of which were the wild inconsistencies and gaping holes in Christine Fraud's ever-changing testimony but also her four named eyewitnesses who denied that such an event ever took place. Like I said, that you think this is even still open for debate shows how out of touch you are.

                    Fair enough.

                    This was the thread, btw.

                      It doesn't show im 'out of touch, it shows we disagree. As for debate, I still find there is sufficient uncertainty as to make it unwise to proclaim one or the others story 'true or "false'.

                      But I will note that while you are willing to cast my position as evidence there is something wrong with me, I will cast your position simply as 'we disagree'.

                        Thanks for the link. Yeah, I was very angry at the way the situation was being characterized - but that is no excuse. My apology stands - I was out of line in my response to you.

                          Which simply proves that you're out of touch, which is actually the more charitable conclusion. The less charitable conclusion is that you are willfully ignoring the facts in favor of your preferred narrative; in this case, you wish to continue to impugn Judge Kavanaugh's character by suggesting that his innocence remains in doubt. Either way, it's not a good look for someone who claims to love truth.

                              It is documented that by far the majority of QAnon believers support Trump, Trump enthusiastically supports those candidates that embrace QAnon since before the 2020 election. Trump has never condemned QAnon, nor even objected to it. There are no Democratic candidates nor elected officials that support QAnon.

                              Some reference to others outside the Republican Party that support QAnon, but nothing has been provided to support this to any extent. It is likely that some registered Independents support QAnon, but by the polls they vote for Trump, and conservative Republican candidates.

                              No one here has provided any sources to document anything other than the above.
