   Hi badgolferman,   
      
   I'm not so sure but I'm willing to give Chris a chance by ignoring his   
   calling me a Trumpist when he has no other way to deny the facts.   
      
   The problem we have to get Chris to overcome, which he's capable of doing,   
   is that he consistently says "cite please" (much like Alan Baker does) when   
   those cites have been provided to him so many times, it's just him   
   stalling.   
      
   Entire threads were devoted to this topic that Chris seems so completely   
   ignorant of that he claims "cite please" when he's been given those cites.

   It's hard to even have a discussion with people who refuse to read cites.   
   And yet, they deny them. Out of what? Sheer ignorance.   
      
   What kind of adult does that?   
      
   If all people do is deny the facts, and require the facts to be cited   
   over and over again, and yet they don't read them, but still deny them,   
   then no adult conversation will be possible with those kinds of people.   
      
   Let's hope Chris can rise to the occasion in these recent threads.   
   Let's hope Chris reads the cites at least, before denying they exist.   
   --   
   Part of being an adult is acting like an adult, where simply claiming all   
   facts we're ignorant of can't possibly exist is not what adults should do.
