Two weeks after the "Great Debate", it is clearly John
Atkinson's
credibility that has taken the hit. As you say, "he
played, he lost".

Yes - the credibility hit he has taken with you four
idiots
is keeping him up at night.

Tom, apparently you're trying to explain Atkinson's
bedraggled appearance at the debate. He had some kind of
premonition that this was going to happen.

On the other hand, you looked fabulous in your polyester
suit and that very stylish 80's vintage shirt.
Good thing it wasn't windy!


The rest of us can see that John behaves like a
gentleman and Arny behaves like a cowardly
nerd.

Really? You can say that even after the release of the
recording of the debate, which finishes up with Atkinson's
slightly quivering voice relievedly unilaterally calling an
end to the debate at the earliest possible opportunity?

No - I didn't hear that. The only quivering voice I heard
was yours, and the debate went the full hour. And what
does that have to do with my comment regarding your
behavior?

Some have issues with John's position on methods
and conclusions, but retain respect for the man.

Why should John get any more respect than I?

He's probably demonstrated more restraint and
maturity than anyone else here and his behavior here
is very consistent with his behavior at the debate.
Your performance at the debate demonstrated some
of the same qualities. Your responses were logical
and consistent. Good job.
It's your behavior here that is inconsistent with
your behavior at the debate. If you behaved here
like you did at the debate, few would have issue
with you. It's here that you act like an adolescent
geek. It's here that you say things you didn't
have the balls to say to his face.
