The big difference between YOU and me is that I quickly admit I am wrong. You still have not admitted you were wrong and it is clearly in black and white that you were wrong.

You asked me to provide an instance where I admitted I was wrong. OK - please provide ANY instance where someone called me out on any statement I made and said I needed to correct myself. I will wait. To the best of my recollection SO far there have none so your point is moot, however, in the event you can provide just one time I was called out and did not reply or correct myself then I will take that into consideration. Again, the difference between us is that WHEN someone calls me out I quickly assess if they are right and if so I make corrections. Something you obviously still cannot do!!!

You said "The truth never warrants an apology." (rules for others eh?) You then follow that up with "A hypocrite is a person who establishes rules for others but doesn't follow them himself." WHY are you so obtuse??? I have provided a clear instance where you were wrong yet you cannot admit that you were as you then say "I might have been wrong, but that doesn't make someone a hypocrite." So "The truth never warrants an apology." yet when I point out the truth that you are wrong you cannot admit that and still have not been able to apologize?? Maybe you have a different understanding of plain English yet you have contradicted yourself and you are in fact (regarding the masks I mentioned) a hypocrite. Until you honestly admit that you were wrong then that label will no longer be applicable. There has been no name calling here - just simple provable facts. And as of right now the hypocrite shoe still fits....just like the "know it all" label because you have never been wrong and have never admitted making a mistake. You were wrong about the mask yet still cannot admit that. WHY?

And having studied human nature it was an easy bet you would be the first to reply to my first post in over 2 months. Some things are so simple......

Re: “Knowing you would be the first to reply lets start off with a little self examination shall we??”
I don't know how you knew I'd be the first to reply. I hardly ever read this forum. Including this message, I've posted to WRGO a total of twelve times, the first being more than ten years ago.

A hypocrite is a person who establishes rules for others but doesn't follow them himself. I don't see any hypocrisy in the post where I said I could debunk the "masks don't help" assertion. I might have been wrong, but that doesn't make someone a hypocrite.

As for the "know it all" label, you called me that a while back while asserting that I never admit it when I'm wrong. Nemo had made the same claim a few months before you (a curious coincidence). I'd responded to him then with ten or so quotes where I'd said I was wrong. I also noted that over the same period, I hadn't found a single case where NEMO had admitted to being wrong. I challenged him to find and post a few - just in case there were some and I was mistaken... but he never did. That, too, was curious. Perhaps you could set an example and show us some instances where YOU've shown yourself to not be a know-it-all, eh? Otherwise... well... it brings us right back to that "hypocrite" comment of yours.

If you feel some need to call people names, I can't very well stop you, but "know-it-all" is both provably wrong in my case and kinda childish in anybody's. Besides, I've pointed out the flaw in it before. See the link below. You DO remember that response, right? So why go there again? I'm sure a fellow as clever as yourself can come up with something new.

I suggest we leave the past in the past and move on.
