No, you avoid dealing with facts whether they're presented by me, Rick,
Jay, Dutch, or anyone else. You're a true believer: you will not deviate
from the vegan religion.

I do get "basic concepts," which is why I don't walk the line promoting
a flawed belief system like veganism.

You can't even support your own claims with any evidence, much less
address the evidence I've brought up in our discussions.

No, all you have to do is stop tap dancing and deal with facts rather
than making up "logic" -- which isn't logic at all -- and repeating it
over and over.

You've done NOTHING to support your claims, aside from repeating them.
That's called tautology. It's NOT proof, it demonstrates a lack of it.

It was a pathetic one.

He doesn't get it, and neither do you, which is why you two fellow
travelers see eye to eye on the matter. It's funny that you're siding
with the biggest shit-stirrer in the history of these newsgroups, whose
background is in woodworking and auto electrics (don't get me started on
British electrical systems!), not in any academic background. Indeed,
he's openly demonstrated contempt for those with academic backgrounds:
You college types have no natural awareness of what's going on
around you, sometimes.
