Once again: Either please show me or else please just shut the f**k up in relation to your false allegation.
It's not a false allegation. You've been ranting and raving on your experience. Period. That's not disputable. I'm not the only poster to make this claim. Get over yourself and recognize that by doing this and claiming you haven't, you made a false claim.
I am actually a bit surprised at your willingness to so easily play into my own hand here, but we really can just put this particular matter to rest:
Bethie either could not or would not hear and acknowledge what I had been saying about the matter of "believe in", and her not doing so had led to her own false accusation against me ... and now you are intentionally-or-otherwise simply helping to carry that along. So then ...
1) I used to "believe in", but that had proved to be of no good use to me;
2) By the time I got to Step Two ...
"2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
Note: Please specifically notice the complete absence of the word "in" there.
**refresh screen**
1) I used to "believe in", but that had proved to be of no good use to me;
2) By the time I got to Step Two, I no longer "believed in";
3) I was not "believing in" anything at all while engaging the Twelve Steps in order to hopefully recover from my chronic alcoholism.
I had really preferred that you just stop re-making/repeating Bethie's false accusation against me, and all of these most-recent and somewhat distracting posts related to that are because of your own insistence and not mine!
Anything else for today?!

Ouch.
Is that the rejection of your cyber sex invitation talking, Phil?

Isn't this sad, guys?
"Although the course of Alzheimer's disease is unique for every individual, there are many common symptoms. The earliest observable symptoms are often mistakenly thought to be 'age-related' concerns, or manifestations of stress. In the early stages, the most common symptom is inability to acquire new memories, observed as difficulty in recalling recently observed events. As the disease advances, symptoms include confusion, irritability and aggression, mood swings, language breakdown, long-term memory loss, and the general withdrawal of the sufferer as their senses decline. AD develops for an indeterminate period of time before becoming fully apparent, and it can progress undiagnosed for years. The mean life expectancy following diagnosis is approximately seven years. Fewer than three percent of individuals live more than fourteen years after diagnosis."

"Poppping corn" or going through the actions of making popcorn. 'Cause, as you've demonstrated trhoughout this thread, apparent linguistic equivalencies really aren't the same.

EDIT: Silly me, that wasn't a jab at all. But Philogos does tend to throw haymakers at really unorthodox angles

Actually, it was intended as a mostly positive comment, reflecting my observation that your style of argumentation - while far from mine - is very different from AG's insistence on a rather formal debate appealing not only to the conclusions of a consensus - not always the same consensus - but also to a rhetor's rulebook.
Your delivery is much louder, much less ordered, and [you do not have to endorse enneatyping, but I find it provides many useful insights, so why not talk about it?] you are clearly much different in personality. I am thinking ennea-7, but early days yet and I do not rule out 8. I tend [though I see many positives in AG which I need not enumerate, since I have already gone into some of this with him] to prefer your style. If you can stand up to the energy and attitude of 7 or 8, you can make more progress in communicaton than with a formal 5w6.
If some one solicited your participation in cyber sex, 'twas not I. Not my thing.

I have not observed whiny - not a feature of any of what I would call major players here,
As for overly pedantic I [clearly] have nothing against pedantry, and how much pedantry is excessive in one who designates himself Master Pedant?
