Go back and read the thread surrounding the post in question. She hasn't backed her argument. She created a false narrative/false argument and then simply threw out the charge of intellectual dishonesty.

An unsubstantiated opinion, we are now finding.

I'm assuming that you have a sense of personal honor and integrity? Do you value it above many other things?

Ok, so here it is.

This most recent post from Lemmie seems to be all we are going to get from her.

There has been a fairly constant barrage of attacks on my personal integrity over a period of time. The main and most constant having to do with my "intellectual honesty".

This most recent example on this thread that I've been referring to is a shining example of what I've had to put up with for quite a while.

I will see any other attacks upon my personal integrity and or accusations of intellectual honesty from Lemmie, and those of her ilk, to be...by default, ill founded and/or not worth the band width taken up and/or the time to read them.

Reason? I know in my heart that I am a man of integrity and the stuff that I get from Lemmie is basically rhetorical hogwash. Very little substance.

When the waters are muddied, it is difficult to clear them up. Once a reputation has been tarnished, it is also difficult to clear it up. Saying something over and over again doesn't make it true.

This example of lying/fabrication from Lemmie and the ongoing cover up and lack of support for her on this thread tells me that I'm on to something (not that I didn't have an inkling of it before) and that I am correct in concluding that this may very well have been an ongoing practice/occurrence.

It saddens me, however, that others would either condone and/or ignore this practice.

The end justifies the means?

Flak.

Would you care to go back to the post in question and show/demonstrate that I was being intellectually dishonest and disingenuous?

Why is it you can go page after page about trivial things, but ignore substantive questions all the time? :rolleyes:

Probably because he's relatively dumb, not educated where it counts within context of his apologia, and he realizes no one gives two craps about his priesthood authority so there's a deep sense of frustration and the only thing he can do to make himself feel relevant is to talk about himself and get others to do the same.

He's pretty fortunate in that activity rates on this board have dropped to where they're at otherwise he wouldn't be getting the attention his pathos requires.

My personal integrity and honor is more important than ANYTHING I discuss on this board. My intellectual honesty is much more important than making some point and/or 'winning' in a conversation.
