Is this like that interesting list of enemies you tried

The other week you were backtracking away from this statement.

It was *I* that repeated that *you* believed all attacks on
the Baha'i community are attacks on the faith.

Then, you were trying to say that "can be" was the same
as "always is".

The "can be" statement is obviously true.

The "always is" one is a steaming pile of doggie poo.

So, you are back to the dog pooh now, are you?  Why?

Jerry, you have attacked a friend of mine without justification.

The issue is that you ought to justify attacking Rod, or
withdraw that attack and apologise for it.  This needs to
be done *before* we can all sit around in a pub having
a nice drink and debating philosophical and logic points.

It's kinda like when you tried to put words in my 
mouth, and I tried to communicate through your thick
skull that that kind of behaviour gets me mad.

That you are intending never to get to the point, and to
stand by your baseless attacks on Rod without apology
or reason?  

Yes, that is obvious.
