Not so, since EVERYTHING is on a timeline, including the above statement.
See ... I have just stood by what I said previously. Now you can appreciate

TOTAL CRAP ... that ludicrous gibberish is! Listen up you
narcissistic cretin. Timeline is not even appropriately used in this
particular context and most certainly does not provide you with an
out . You simply cannot make one statement and then subsequently make
another statement wjoich contradicts your initial statement and then
irrationally assert that you can stand by everything that you say. In
other words you cannon stand by diametrically opposed positions based
on some fanciful notion of timeline ... you know it ... I know it and
the readers know it. Your a genius??? If you can't even comprehend a
concept this elementary, I beg to differ. Thanksgiving is coming.
Can someone in in Ed's vicinity roast this turkey???

Does anyone filter this guy out? It sure does improve the readability
and content of arbr to do so. I am no fan of official censorship - ED
can post all he wants, but it is little more than useless noise that
"dolbies" out quite easily.

JimmyMac does not understand timelines - nor the passage of time itself.
That is because he is stuck in a time warp.

I understand the concept of timelines just fine, but Dolan just does
not comprehend that a timeline does not absolve him of his incessant
self-contradiction and does not explain how he can possibly be stand
by contradicting statements that he makes ... sometimes even in the
very same thread!! There is one thing that can be counted on
concerning the man. Dolan has aptly demonstrated that he cannot be
taken at his word since his word constantly and whimsically changes.
He flip flops so much that he should have been a politician. Oops, I
stand corrected. Dolan is a societal parasite ... not an honorable
member of the working class unless, of course, he has changed his
position on that as well. The conundrum continues. Ed, I would
consider allowing you to have the last word if you'd guarantee that it
would be your last.

As new facts emerge, positions must change to take into account the new
facts. I have known for some time that unmoderated forums are the pits. I
have only recently discovered that moderated forums are also the pits.
Hence, a new fact leads to a new position as regards the relative worth of
moderated forums as opposed to unmoderated forums. They are BOTH equally
worthless!

that ... "as new facts emerge, positions must change to take into

going to accept the axiom that as your position changes, standing by
every message you have ever posted to Usenet is unachievable and
untenable? I don't know why you continue to struggle with something
this elementary, but allow me dissect this for you. It is a given
that one cannot support opposing, contradictory positions. In order
for one to stand by every post one has ever made on Usenet requires,
as a precondition, that one cannot change one's position irrespective
of the introduction of new facts. If and when new facts dictate a
change in position, it also follows that when one changes one's
position, one can no longer stand by one's previous position; and,
consequently one cannot stand by every post one has ever made on
Usenet. Why you are unable to comprehend or accept a concept so self-
evident as to preclude debate, just baffles the mind ... and, you
claim to be a genius??? The conundrum continues!!! V

I just saw this. I was so stunned I didn't keep reading.

The ways of genius like Ed Dolan the Great are clearly beyond the
comprehension of so lowly a mortal as JimmyMac.

Refusing to participate in this debate refuses to is not the way of
genius, but rathe the way of the coward. Is this the best
diversionary attempt that an alleged genius can muster? What we have
here is typical Dolan CRAPOLA. When logic has Dolan backed squarely
into a corner with no wiggle room, Dolan is on the brink of despair.
His fragile ego cannot bear to publicly admit that he is wrong. Those
who offer the most resistance when their wisdom, authority or
intentions are called into question are often the very same persons
who have an inherent inability to establish valid grounds to discredit
others. Unwilling and/or unable to offer a rebuttal, Dolan delivers a
gratuitous insult which only serves to demonstrate that his position
is so weak that it has to be abandoned rather than defended.
Regardless, the question still remains ... can Dolan stand by every
post he has ever made or can he not? Why will Dolan not answer this
question? Lack of an direct answer is tantamount to admission that he
cannot stand be every post that he has ever made and will be taken as
such.
