Ah, so that's an example of me lying?

Clear, and undeniable.

You asked.

I provided.

You lied.

I exposed your lie.

End of story.

But isn’t it possible FD just made a mistake?

It happens all the time - particularly when he quotes G.

Well lets see FD, here's what you said when greg posted the link:

Didn't see any example there Greg.

Given that when I clicked on the link it took me around 5 seconds or less to establish the fact that there were indeed many examples listed, your response seems to suggest one of three things:

1. you are blind or illiterate
2. you never bothered to look at the link
3. you did look at the link, and lied about what you saw

I'm pretty sure we can rule out 1, which leaves us with either you were dishonest about implying that you checked, or you flat out lied.

So yeah, I would say its pretty open-shut case of you being dishonest.

I opened the link. I did not see any examples. I saw a very long web page. I asked Greg to copy and paste one. It really is that simple Gandalf.

For someone who just finished whining about me 'nitpicking' you are going to absurd lengths to find something wrong with what I posted. Both of you have misrepresented what I said in order to do this.

BTW, do you think Greg's statistics posted reflect the relative magnitude of the Islamic terrorism problem?

It is literally impossible for a literate person to "not see any examples" in the link - after specifically being told there were examples in there.

Like I said, I find your newly acquired obsession with greg rather amusing. To the extent that you will use your seeming inability to open a link and actually read the contents of that link as somehow an example of him being tricky and evasive.

It is actually quite simple. Would you like to take a guess at how many words there are on the page? What this boils down to is that I did not misrepresent anything. You and Greg have spent several pages misrepresenting what I said. And now you are clutching for something to fall back on.

You always get jelous when I pay attention to the other apologists.

Just out of curiosity, how long did you try looking for them?

I'd love to understand how a literate person could not find in one page what was specifically pointed out to them.

So did it take a few seconds to not find what is very clearly in the page even after it was specifically pointed out to you - or to decide to simply ignore the evidence he provided and start this pathetic game of "gweggy's being tricky and evasive"? Since the latter is second nature to you, I reckon "a few seconds" would be about right.

It is not very clear. It is an enourmous page. How many words would you have to read through before coming across an example?

Fair enough, FD. It was too long to read. How long did it take to ask Greggery why he didn't post it?

Took me literally a few seconds of scanning down the page.

A lot less time than it would have taken to read that web page.

I was actually more interested in his reluctance to post examples, given that he obviously went to the trouble of finding them and he was more than happy to copy and paste the statistics. Now he is too shy to answer the most basic questions about the statistics he posted. Do you think it would be quicker for me to make up an answer on his behalf?

Fair enough, FD. You left the reading to Greggery and G. They're the scholars here. You're more of a questioner, no? A simple yes or no will suffice.
