  1. Readership,

    What Tom Sherman consistently failed to recognize is that I am opposed
    to the HRS blog irrespective of authorship. Tom Sherman asserts that
    my motive for opposing the HRS blog is hatred of Ed Gin. I assert that
    Tom Sherman's motive in defending the HRS blog is his allegiance to Ed
    Gin. Tom Sherman asserts that hatred obscures my objectivity. I
    assert that friendship obscures Tom Sherman's objectivity. Ed Gin
    would be completely immaterial to my opposition if he were not part an
    parcel of the HRS blog.

    The HRS bog utterly fails in its objective ... defamation. The HRS bog
    succeeds in exposing the sordid and depraved character of its authors.
    The authors will forever be linked with the HRS blog. Tom Sherman will
    forever be acknowledged as the self-appointed defender of the
    indefensible ... the HRS blog and its authors (Seth Jayson, Alan Arial
    and Ed Gin).

    Rife with illogical fallacies, Tom Sherman's tedious, oblique debating
    style was riddled with circumlocution and subterfuge. One word sums it
    up ... TERGIVERSATION! For Tom Sherman, this debate was never about
    right and wrong. This debate was about cerebral insecurity, ego,
    winning and declaring victory. A stalemate was unacceptable.
    Concession was mandatory. Tom Sherman and I held firm to opposing
    positions. Tom Sherman felt that he was right. I feel that I was
    right. We reached an impasse. I was willing to agree to disagree in
    order to spare the readership. Tom Sherman was not.

    For his failure to recognize that the targets of the HRS blog are not
    "public figures" (as defined by law), and for his failure to recognize
    that direct-evidence is not required as the only acceptable form of
    proof (as defined by law), and for his inability to distinguish between
    parody and defamation, there is nothing more of any significance that
    Tom Sherman can contribute to this debate regardless of what he says to
    the contrary.

    It was impractical for me to fulfill the unrealistic evidence
    requirements that meet Tom Sherman's criteria for definitive proof, and
    I was not the least bit inclined to try. The debate could have
    continued indefinitely unless common sense intervened. Tom Sherman and
    I are both tenacious and determined, but I recognize that one of us has
    to be the least stubborn, exercise sound judgment and adjourn the
    debate. Tom Sherman may try to bait me into a responding, so I will
    have to exercise some degree of self-control. I will encourage him no
    longer, although I reserve the right for an occasional pithy rejoinder
    if deemed appropriate. Tom Sherman will undoubtedly put his customary
    perverse spin on what I've said, deliberately misconstruing my intent,
    but that's to be expected. Tis the nature of the beast.

    Enough said ... JimmyMac

    Readership,

    A while ago Mr. McNamara said he was done with this discussion. Now he
    is starting new threads on it. Ego problem?

    No, I simply did not (and do not) care about Mr. McNamara's opinions.

    The topic of discussion is presenting ACCUSATIONS without DEFINTIVE
    PROOF.

    Will Mr. McNamara provide DEFINITIVE PROOF OF HIS ALLEGATIONS?

    misconstruing my intent an putting a spin on things. I knew you
    couldn't resist. I just wish that I had resisted responding and
    pointing out the obvious, but I did reserve that right.

    I noticed in our other thread where twice I made you out to be a liar
    and provided all the proof you needed in that debate in Ed Gin's own
    words, you finally shut up. Why don't you do the same here and I will
    join you in silence. Agreed? You probably won't and I will have to
    choose whether to respond or ignore you. The latter would seem to be
    the better alternative.

    You check again. Don't you have a clue as to which thread I was

    error or yet another lie. Either way, it doesn't matter. I just don't

    Law does not equal morality. What is so hard for Mr. McNamara to grasp

    Mr. McNamara's previous arguments were nothing but unfounded

    You haven't got a dictionary? When pressed for proof that it was

    IMPRACTICAL and didn't seem to have a problem with the use of the word
    then, so why do you now? Here is where playing by a different set of
    rules comes into play AGAIN.

    I was only stating it was HYPOTHETICALLY POSSIBLE that Mr. McNamara was
    the HRS blog author. Mr. McNamara was claiming that Ed Gin WAS involved
    in authoring the HRS blog. These are two entirely different things with
    different standards of proof.

    Mr. McNamara claims he will not bother to go over old "threds" (sic),

    Nothing you added to thread matters in the least. You wasted your
    time.

    Yes, by Mr. McNamara's standard, not remembering a SINGLE post out of
    thousands years ago is a LIE.

    * You like logical fallacy and fish don't you (read red herring). This
    is an interesting interpretation of what was actually said. It is all
    archived if someone wants to review the thread.
    *
    Mr. McNamara LIED when he said I responded to TWO (2) posts instead of
    the ONE (1) post I responded to. Or maybe Mr. McNamara does not know
    the difference between ONE (1) and TWO (2).

    * I specifically stated that I did not recall you responding to the
    second post. It is all archived if someone wants to review the thread.
    * Must you compound a lie with another lie?

    Mr. McNamara wrote: "It is also inappropriate and foolish to deny that
    you read the posts

    Note the plural "posts", i.e. MORE THAN ONE (1). Since I only responded
    to ONE (1) post by Gary (sic) not Garry (sic) Brown, the claim that I
    responded to more than one post by Mr. McNamara is a LIE.

    Mr. McNamara also LIED when he said I responded to a post by Garry
    (sic) Brown, since the post in question was by Gary (sic) Brown.

    Quoted message said:

    *
    And why would I deliberately lie if I could be so easily proven?

    --> Good question. I await your answer.

    The whole above discussion does not reflect well on Mr. McNamara, since
    he accuses others of lying over a mistake, but he (Mr. McNamara)
    refuses to apply the same standard to himself. The word for this is
    HYPOCRACY!

    [YAWN] ... whatever

    You responded to the wrong post and I'll not bother to reply to the one
    that you did respond to. I am unwilling to waste any more time than
    I've already wasted here addressing a reply that was primarily a
    demonstration of your affinity for LOGICAL FALLACY (Non Sequitur) ...
    stating, as a conclusion, something that does not strictly follow from
    the premises.

    You want me to cease? Tell you what. Reply to this post with nothing
    but a single three letter word .... YES and I will go silently and
    expect you to do the same. If you are unwilling to do so, do not hold
    me accountable for continuing. I will continue as I see fit regardless
    of how you feel it reflects on me. Badgering will accomplish nothing.

    Law does not equal morality. What is so hard for Mr. McNamara to grasp
    about this concept? Note I did not bring legality explicitly into the
    discussion; that was an unfounded assumption of Mr. McNamara's part.

    --> ILLOGICAL FALLACY (Red Herring AGAIN) introducing irrelevant facts
    or arguments to distract from the question at hand. Why is it so
    difficult for Mr. Sherman to understand this? Mr. Sherman is confused
    and has put words in my mouth. I never claimed that he introduced
    legality in to the discussion. I did because legality had relevancy.

    OF THE HRS BLOG AUTHORSHIP?

    --> Nope. I'll not waste time responding to this again having done so
    countless times. I refer you to what I said previously in this regard.

    Mr. McNamara's previous arguments were nothing but unfounded
    allegations, based on Mr. McNamara's INTERPRETATION of Ed Gin's
    character and behavior.

    Will Mr. McNamara provide DEFINITIVE PROOF OF HIS ALLEGATIONS?

    --> Digging a deeper and deeper hole??? ... opinion/allegation

    --> Circumstantial evidence was produced. Though acceptable under the
    law, circumstantial evidence is not acceptable to Mr. Sherman. Mr.
    Sherman expects Mr. McNamara to produce what is defined as
    direct-evidence (not required be law) to satisfy Mr. Sherman who is
    incapable of being satisfied. What incentive does McNamara have to do
    the unnecessary for the ungrateful Mr. Sherman and expend his time and
    money in the process? In the first post in this thread, Mr. McNamara
    stated... It was impractical for me to fulfill the unrealistic evidence
    requirements that meet Tom Sherman's criteria for definitive proof, and
    I was not the least bit inclined to try.

    --> Because Mr. McNamara refuses to play by his rules, Mr. Sherman's
    rules incorrectly draws the conclusion, which does not logically follow
    the premise that Mr. McNamara's purpose was to denigrate Ed Gin. Once
    again Mr. Sherman attempts to persuade the readership that Ed Gin was
    Mr. McNamara's sole focus when the HRS blog authors were Mr. McNamara's
    focus as stated numerous time in response to this often repeated
    falsehood presented as fact. In the first post in this thread, Mr.
    McNamara stated... What Tom Sherman consistently failed to recognize is
    that I am opposed to the HRS blog irrespective of authorship. Ed Gin
    would be completely immaterial to my opposition if he were not part and
    parcel of the HRS blog.

    --> Mr. Sherman puts a spin on things in a failed attempt to make them

    --> Now watch how easy and painless this is, Tommy boy. I stand
    corrected (you could not even make a minor concession like this because
    of the insecurity of your fragile ego). I must have had a slow release
    on the "r" key that got repeated. Notice that I will not rave and rant
    about how loudly Mr. Sherman trumpeted victory, etc., etc. like the
    insecure Mr. Sherman did. What I will point out though is that the
    deceitful Mr. Sherman deliberately took advantage of the
    misspelling/typo to tell a half-truth (to mislead the readership) that
    he did not reply to Garry Brown because he replied to Gary (one "r"😉
    Brown. What does this say of Mr. Sherman's character?

    Quoted message said:

    Regardless, you're still a liar. I claimed no victory insecure one.

    Here is a lie at least in spirit by Mr. McNamara. If Mr. McNamara is
    not claiming a victory, why is he bringing up not remembering one of
    thousands of posts and calling it a lie?

    --> What the hell is a lie "in spirit"? It either is or it isn't a
    lied and deceptive qualification ("in spirit"😉 doesn't change that. I
    see your employing one of your favorite LOGICAL FALLACIES (Non
    Sequitur) stating, as a conclusion about something that does not
    strictly follow from the premise. Nowhere can the insecure Mr. Sherman
    cite a reference where I claimed victory in this regards ... NOWHERE!
    What he can do is ILLOGICALLY state that in effect I must be claiming
    victory for having bought to his attention a post that he forgot when I
    brought it to has attention. I didn't consider Mr. Sherman's
    forgetfulness to be a lie. I considered his deceitful denial of having
    responded to a post because of a misspelling to be a purposeful
    intention to deceive. Here is what I said about VICTORY...

    --> Mr. Sherman attributes of me that I consider his inability to
    recall one
    (1) of ten-thousand plus (10,000+) posts a "victory" whereas I consider
    it to be neither a victory on my part nor a shortcoming his, but Mr.
    Sherman made such a fuss about it that it does raise an interesting
    question regarding his basic insecurity. Tom is it so difficult for
    you to recognize even the most minute aspect in your makeup that would
    attest to you being like the rest of us that you must seek sanctuary in
    denial of a human shortcoming.

    --> Readers, you have what I said not what Mr. Sherman would have you
    believe that I think or said. I rightly called Mr. Sherman a liar not
    for having forgotten a post, but rather for having denied responding to
    a post, even after he had posted the very link containing the response
    that he allegedly did not make. What we have here is an example of a
    lie compounding a lie. This is becoming a bad habit with Mr. Sherman.

    Quoted message said:

    Go back and read the original post. You most certainly
    did respond to Gary Brown and misspelling his name to cover your ass
    makes you out to be a deceitful liar.

    Mr. McNamara was the one who misspelled "Gary" as "Garry" and was too
    obtuse to notice when I indirectly pointed it out. I expected better of
    the GREAT Mr. McNamara.

    --> Is this about misspelling or deliberately taking advantage of the
    misspelling/typo to mislead the readership into believing that you had
    not responded to the post in question? GREAT is high praise coming
    from someone with such an over-inflated ego. Gee ... thanks. I never
    expected a compliment from my adversary.

    Furthermore, Mr. McNamara LIED when he said I responded to TWO (2)
    posts when I only responded to ONE (1) post.

    --> Correction. You insisted that there was only ONE post from Gary
    Brown and there were TWO that you never read those posts and never
    responded to either. I stated that I didn't recall that you responded
    to the second, but that you responded to the first. I don't want to
    burden this thread by cutting and pasting everything from another
    thread here. It is all archived. Why must you persist with your lies?

    Mr. McNamara has yet to show where I responded to a "Garry (sic) Brown"
    and owes me and apology for accusing me of lying, when what really
    happened was Mr. McNamara was too disrespectful of the
    alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent readership to proofread his post.

    --> Assumption. I did proofread. It is a commonly accepted notion
    that someone else should proofreader what one writes because the person
    making a mistake will often not catch it when proof reading his or her
    own work. Mr. Sherman fails to comprehend this elementary concept.

    --> Mr. Sherman constantly harps about how logical he is and how no one
    can possibly point out an error in his logic although I am growing
    tired of doing just that. Readers, does it logically follow that
    because I made a typo and failed to take note of it in the proofreading
    process, that I am disrespectful of the readership? This is one of Mr.
    Sherman's favorite LOGICAL FALLACIES (Non Sequitur) stating a
    conclusion about something that does not strictly follow from the
    premise. You know what is even more illogical. That Mr. Sherman
    expects an apology for a typo. Readers, ask yourself, is Mr. Sherman's
    deceitful denial, based on a mere technicality (read misspelling/typo)
    not a purposeful intention to deceive? Is not a purposeful intention
    to deceive a lie?

    Garry (sic) Brown is not the same as Gary (sic) Brown. One (1) is not
    the same as two (2). Is this clear, or do I need to repeat once again.

    --> Oh, I understand your deceitfulness perfectly well, but have
    repeated that so you understand that I understand. Mr. Sherman did not
    respond to Garry (sic) Brown. Mr. Sherman responded to Gary (sic)
    Brown. Mr. Sherman's deceitful denial, based on a mere technicality
    (read misspelling/typo) is purposeful intention to deceive. Is not a
    purposeful intention to deceive a lie?

    Mr. McNamara needs to check the Google Groups archive to see he was the
    one who first misspelled Gary (sic) as Garry (sic), instead of LYING
    that he did not.

    --> I said that I didn't recall misspelling Gary's name and responded
    to this above. What does any of this diversionary nonsense from
    another post have to do with my initial post in this thread??? ...
    NOTHING.

    Quoted message said:

    --> Usual diversionary red herring B.S. This says nothing with regard
    to what I originally said ... Tom Sherman asserts that my motive for

    blog.

    Will Mr. McNamara provide DEFINITIVE PROOF OF HIS ALLEGATIONS?

    --> When Mr. Sherman cannot respond to an issue he recycles something
    that I have responded to over and over. He does not accept my answer,
    so I will not repeat my answer. I have said before that we are an
    impasse going round and round, but Mr. Sherman does not find an impasse
    acceptable and is unwilling to let this go, agree to disagree and move
    on. Egomaniacs are like that. Every time the question is again posed,
    I will simply delete it having addressed it many times and having
    indicated that I will no longer address it many times as well.

    Without proof, Mr. McNamara looses his argument that Ed Gin is involved
    in authoring the HRS blog.

    --> Opinion stated as fact. I have stated more times than I can
    remember that I suspect another as author (SJ) and Ed Gin as a major
    contributor. How many times do you have to hear something before it
    sinks in? Until you learn the difference between circumstantial
    evidence and direct-evidence and their acceptability as proof under the
    law and until you learn the difference between a private and a public
    person and until you learn the difference between parody and defamation
    you don't even have a basis for argument.

    Mr. McNamara's previous arguments were nothing but unfounded
    allegations, based on Mr. McNamara's INTERPRETATION of Ed Gin's
    character and behavior.

    --> Mr. Sherman continues to harp on his all to often repeated
    assertion (read opinion stated as fact) that this is all about Ed Gin,
    whereas I have repeatedly said that it is not. As concerns Ed Gin and
    his character, his behavior speaks for itself.

    --> And your diversionary (red herring) reply has what to do with
    "impractical" being opinion, not fact. Although I loosely referred to
    3 individuals as authors, I have also said that I do not believe that
    Ed Gin is the author (blog owner if you will). I suspect SJ as the
    author and AA probably plays a minor roll. Ed Gin I suspect to be a
    major contributor, but not the author (blog owner). Now that I have

    Mr. McNamara also LIED when he said I responded to a post by Garry
    (sic) Brown, since the post in question was by Gary (sic) Brown.

    --> This is but a half-truth. A typo does not a LIE make. This is now
    your 7th reference in this post alone about this. Are you that hung up
    on misspellings and typos that you have to monotonously harp on this?
    The deceitful Mr. Sherman deliberately took advantage of a
    misspelling/typo to tell a half-truth to mislead the readership into
    believing that he had not responded to the post in question and to call
    me a LIAR. Mr. Sherman did not respond to Garry (sic) Brown. Mr.
    Sherman responded to Gary (sic) Brown. Mr. Sherman's deceitful denial,
    based on a mere technicality (read misspelling/typo) is a purposeful
    intention to deceive. Is not a purposeful intention to deceive a lie?
    What insight does this provide into Mr. Sherman's character?

    And why would I deliberately lie if I could be so easily proven?

    --> Good question. I await your answer.

    --> I'm still waiting.

    The whole above discussion does not reflect well on Mr. McNamara, since
    he accuses others of lying over a mistake, but he (Mr. McNamara)
    refuses to apply the same standard to himself. The word for this is
    HYPOCRACY!

    --> Do you never tire or repetition? It is a LIE to state that I
    accused you of lying over a mistake. I did no such thing. You know
    what I accused you of lying about and I addressed that above. For what
    it is worth, when I made a typo (Garry or posts) didn't you accuse me
    of being a LIAR over a mistake and is not this what you have just
    condemned me for and is this not refusal to apply the same standard to
    yourself and is this not HYPOCRISY? Why do you not play by the same
    set of rules? Those that do not play by the rules are known as a
    cheat. Deceit, dishonesty, untruthfulness are not virtues. Work on
    it.

    Quoted message said:

    You want me to cease? Tell you what. Reply to this post with nothing
    but a single three letter word .... YES and I will go silently and
    expect you to do the same. If you are unwilling to do so, do not hold
    me accountable for continuing. I will continue as I see fit regardless
    of how you feel it reflects on me. Badgering will accomplish nothing.
    Eventually when I tire of this, I'll be history regardless.

    --> I knew you just couldn't' bring yourself to do it.

    Mr. McNamara said he was leaving this discussion. Apparently that was a
    DECEITFUL LIE.

    --> Either Mr. Sherman has a reading comprehension problem or Mr.
    Sherman has LIED AGAIN. Mr. McNamara clarified in several post that he
    would not be badgered into leaving by Mr. Sherman and will leave
    eventually, but will leave only on his own terms and when he desired to
    leave not when Mr. Sherman desires him leave. When Mr. McNamara
    finally leaves the discussion, will not Mr. Sherman's statement that I
    have lied be a LIE?

    Since everyone else seems to be ignoring this discussion, except for
    requests for it to end, there is not longer any point in continuing it.

    Mr. McNamara may of course post what he wants since this is an
    un-moderated forum, but I (and I expect everyone else also) will ignore
    it.
