It's brilliant that personal attacks are not condoned around here. Just brilliant.

There used to be a sticky up top that informed folks that it was okay to call bullshit when you see it. That's how the screw turns here. It isn't personal- it's just that you can't tell someone that they're full of shit without referring directly to them.
This is a recurring problem with Ace, because he frequently pretends to lack the ability to either a) see causal links where they exist and/or b) not create causal links where none exist. So he cites information to back up his position that actually has nothing to do, or is only tangentially related to, his position. Then, when someone tries to reconcile this mismatch with him, he either pretends to not understand, reiterates his original position as if it still made sense, or says something else that is only tangentially related to the topic at hand.
It is a waste of time to argue with someone who seems to have such tenuous grasp of logic.

We're talking about feelings here, dc. Facts have little bearing.
