   Strive for comprehension, Frank.

   >restating original thought.   
      
   He reasoned quite well about the evidence, as you continued to   
   blatantly assert your position.   
      
   > There was not attempt at reasoning, in fact

   >embellish their own statements.   
      
   Embellish their statements? I would hope not. But what was   
   published can be considered critically and discussed on its   
   merits, without any person having to defend himself. Unless that   
   person is being attacked. But attacking the person in order to   
   distract from the argument is your specialty, isn't it?   
      
   > For Peter to put a 3rd generation   
   >comment on it was ludicrous, especially since he has nothing of merit   
   >that I am familiar with.   
      
   You're not familiar with much, though. Like the phrase "dumb as   
   a stump", facts about pre-existing condions, procedures for the   
   treatment of prostate cancer, the fact of racism in American   
   society, etc.   
      
   It's humorous that you would try to degrade his argument by   
   saying "nothing of merit that I am familiar with". Gosh, it's so   
   easy to look up answers to avoid looking like a fool.

   No, something else.
