YES, whether you like it or not, your post came off as condescending to me.
That's exactly the same as it would be if I said:I'm not playing this game with you C_w.
YES, whether you like it or not, when you say "I'm not playing this game with you C2W," it comes off as both an insult and as code for "I refuse to acknowledge that AD and brekin did not post that chart or that I attacked both them and you because I felt like it, then justified doing it by blaming them and you for some non-specific bad act, such as game-playing and making unexampled implications."
Incidentally.
It's an insulting attack disguised as self-defense against an insulting attack, in other words. Same thing as what I was responding to to begin with. Exact same thing. Three times in a row.

There's a legitimate case to be made that trafficking in Nazi Holocaust revisionism and claiming that the Protocols are essentially true is the kiss of death for any organized political action group that isn't intrinsically dedicated to the premise that Jews are engaged in an evil global conspiracy that makes them functionally omnipotent and have never been all that persecuted.
I'd make that one myself.
Just practical politics.

This point is diversionary - the whole of Searcher's post was not about what this response makes it seem like it was about. The part you have selected to respond to was a foundation stone Searcher laid to attempt to illustrate the larger issue.

Same thing again.
the facts are available to you:
- read Searcher's last post to get an idea of the very genesis of the problem on this thread.
- look to to SLAD's posts to understand that this same trick is played over and over and recognize that she has left the board explicitly because of it.
- while brekin and AD may not have posted the flow chart they are engaged in the same yes/no demands and subsequent mocking behaviour
- hear me when I say that I don't need or want to debate with you regarding the way that I understand AD's posts to me.
- allow me to defend myself my way

well you're doing it again. I exist to call you on your bullshit.

- I saw those too.
- Not that I've seen or that anyone has showed me, although I'm willing to see it.
- I do hear you. I think you're wrong, due to not seeing what you're talking about and not being shown it.
- Wouldn't dream of doing otherwise and couldn't if I wanted to.
Those are the facts.
Are you saying that it's an attack for me to point out that you're wrong, because your needing and wanting to be right means that you are whether what you said was justified or not?

Huh? What trick is being played? Logic? Requests for evidence?
And Slad has hardly left the board. At last look she has a separate thread devoted to trying and lock this one.
I think I missed the kerfuffle regarding MIB's flow chart (was that the mid 50's pages?) but I thought it was rather to the point. But if you don't want to play his board game with his rules then don't play with him.
What this thread really boils down to is this:
Some people believe Icke, and want to believe Icke without rational reasons. They get mad when tenets of Icke's philosophy is criticized or held to a standard of proof because it is challenging a belief system of theirs that is based on faith. Now, nothing wrong with having a belief based on faith. We all do. But people can't frequent a board where we dissect and pick apart numerous belief systems and then think that a man who believes lizard-human hybrids secretly control the world will be immune.

for some of us this thread is about more than that.
it is about guilt by association, taboo topics, the different opinions on what constitutes "evidence" and several other ideas and dynamics are at play, too.
Of course we can pick apart any belief system. I like to pick apart Scientism and lots of people lose their shit when I do. I've done it here vis a vis the 'what constitutes evidence' strain of the discussion.
