   When we've gone toe-to-toe on the evidence, he lost every time. He’ll deny   
   it of course, and    
   call me a liar, but he’ll then spam the group some more and avoid discussing   
   whatever topic is under discussion in that particular thread.

   Who knows, maybe they will actually go somewhere in the next few months. Nah...   
      
   Yellowpanties is never going to change. He whines that nobody will debate him.   
   He doesn't seem to understand that debate   
   is a give and take process. Point/counterpoint. One person makes and argument,   
   the other person makes a rebuttal and the   
   first person responds to that. All Yellowpanties can do is delete a person's   
   argument and label it a logical fantasy, then cries   
   that nobody has the guts to debate him. How do you debate someone who won't   
   respond to what you write.   
      
   Giltardo takes a different tact. Rather than make an argument, he raises   
   questions, usually inan ones or ones that have been   
   answered countless times over the years. When the silliness of his loaded   
   questions are pointed out, he claims no one has   
   answered the question (to his satisfaction, of course), declares victory, then   
   bails out of the thread.    
      
   Neither Giltardo nor Yellowpanties has the courage or the intellect to take an   
   actual position on an issue and then defend it   
   through reasoned arguments. Their whole game is to try to negate the case made   
   against Oswald as presented by the WC.   
   They have failed spectacularly in those efforts.    
      
   As for NTF, Don, McClung, Doyle, etc., they have put the nut in nuthouse.   
   NTF's theories are so bizarre I have to wonder if he   
   truly believes them or is just trolling. Don will take the most obscure facts   
   and then weave an intricate and illogical line of   
   reasoning that I can't even follow. I finally quit trying. It was giving me   
   headaches. I get to his conclusions and wonder how   
   the hell did he arrive there? There contributions made by McClung and Doyle   
   are not even worth commenting on so I don't.    
   I'm going to lurk a while after February 15 just to see which, if any, of   
   these assclowns are still posting their crap here and
