And again, insofar as the discussion that was happening - you didn't even exist, so the idea that I am somehow beholden to you and must leap to perform tricks on command for you is fucking insane. There's room here for you, but not for you and your grossly swollen sense of entitlement.
Burden of proof doesn't have an "I wasn't talking to you" exemption clause. All kinds of people who have failed to meet their burden of proof weren't talking to me when they made their claims. For example: I think I've only ever interacted with one fairly minor academic creationist directly. (I wonder whether I should have ever made an effort to meet Behe.) Doesn't matter one jot or tittle.
You're like a dog on heat. Go away chap, I am not interested in your amorous advances.
It's fucking moronic. Citations are an academic requirement, not a conversational one, and you are replying to my post (which I wrote before you even joined the forum) saying that I didn't have a fucking citation. I already expressly said

This is BEFORE you joined, let alone fucking posted demanding I perform tricks for you.

And what's a reasonable response to this? Hmm, let's look at the person with whom I was having this discussion.Papa Smurf wrote:Fair enough...
So, the person with whom I was having the discussion acknowledged that it's perfectly understandable that I am not going to provide page and line references, but you, a person who wasn't even a member here, but who has joined a forum full of strangers in an increasingly unusual manner, seems to think I am somehow beholden to them to perform tricks.
No chap, read slowly: I have no obligation to you whatsoever.
Even more ridiculous is that the entire point of a citation would be to persuade someone - I am not trying to persuade you, I don't give a fuck if you believe me or not.
Your entitlement in this case extends to not believing what I wrote. Nothing more. Now kindly eject your throbbing ego from the forum so that you might enjoy your time here absent its insane demands of entitlement.
