Yes ?
So don't try to spin the obviously basic fact that we are talking about deceit.[/quote]
I wasn't.

In no way would I claim that I am perfect. I'm an old fellow. One of the things I have learned to understand and appreciate is that the more you learn about something the more you learn the extent of what you don't know about it. But thank you for your kind generosity.
[quote=youcanhandlethetruth;528721]And that doesn't mean my whole argument is not valid, and that you are not totally incorrect and misguided in your interpretation.[quote]
I glad that you think I'm not totally incorrect. Maybe, in your invaluable estimation, Clippo isn't a "complete idiot" after all?

What are you afraid of Besoeker that you can't find any possible explanation to reply to this quote ?
Your spin makes it sound like I have deliberately evaded answering a mandatory question.
I should have thought that comment, taken in context, was a self-evident conclusion.
But, if a laboured explanation is required to aid comprehension.......
"All these dangers are caused by human intervention"
If humanity is the cause, what else would you blame?

They are stated as "ideas"(not facts) that "would fit the bill"
Not so. They are stated as facts:
"are caused by" leaves no room for doubt.
The "idea" referred to using these facts as a means of uniting humanity.

And you are a prime example of such an individual they are referring to.
You can suspect what you like. I just read what the COR is reported to have said, not what think it was reported to have been said.
