Come on, Dolan! You're accusing me of back pedaling from someon else's
positions? Not from positions of my own? Well, jeez, Dolan, then how many
positions that aren't your own have you back pedaled from? Dozens? Hundres? Or
is it "sui generis" time once more? But seriously, Dolan, buy a clue. People
back pedal from their own positions, not from something they've never said. Sheesh.

ROTFL! I find it so hard to believe, someone who practically holds it aloft as
a banner of honor, that they DON'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES! I cannot think of a
more damning insult, than that which you seem to brag about. Dolan, it's never
too late to learn - but you have to do it for yourself. You seem to take pride
in being led around, of being some obstreperous sheep, rather than an actual
human being. Ever wonder about the Latin term for a modern human, Dolan? Ever
wonder about it? Did you consider it an insult?

Dolan, it is you who are flying in the face of history. Mankind's history is
full of people who did just what you condemn: they thought for themselves, they
reasoned, they researched. Did you ever wonder why it's no longer common
knowledge that the earth is flat? That it's no longer believed that the sun
revoles around the earth? Why, oh, this is a waste of time - of COURSE you've
never wondered about these things, or any things. You've already told us,
unbelieveable as it sounds, that you do not think. You follow. You adhere to
prejudices. You take "short cuts" that save you from using your mind.
