Readers can search the archives themselves or take my word for it. In fact, I've offered you money if you could prove you answered certain questions. You ducked the challenge because you knew you couldn't win it.<BR/><BR/>As I said, Russ, if you're going to lie in my blog, I'll have to point out your lies. You're lying when you tell people you've answered questions that you haven't. Again, prove me wrong if you can. Put up or shut up.<BR/><BR/>I trust readers can see through your pathetic excuses for dodging questions, because I sure can. In contrast, I'll answer any question asked without using my mental powers to judge the questioner's "honesty." That's because I'm trying to get at the truth, not cover it up.<BR/><BR/>Was my answer to your rhetorical question about reality clear enough? My definition is the dictionary definition because it's the accepted definition. Let me know if any part of that isn't clear and I'll try again. Unlike you, I'm not afraid of answering questions.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-575618171852165112007-03-22T03:17:00.000-07:002007-03-22T03:17:00.000-07:00Writerfella here --<BR/> But what you do not see is that writerfella will answer any honest question, honestly. But he refuses to answer dishonest or deceitful questions either dishonestly or deceitfully, nor especially those questions that the asker already has a set of answers that he wishes to hear repeated. To receive a dishonest answer or a deceitful one, writerfella has to be asked a singular question that was dishonest or deceitful in the first place. Thus, honest questions get honest answers. There are times, therefore, when askers get no response at all...<BR/>All Best <BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208567003496430805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-38455449131356231382007-03-22T02:44:00.000-07:002007-03-22T02:44:00.000-07:00You'd know dodges, I guess, since you use them so often.<BR/><BR/>I generally go by the dictionary definition, since it's the established definition. I applied that definition to reality shows by choosing the second of two meanings. That's more of an answer than you give to most questions, so spare us the double standard.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-47551595066947704112007-03-21T13:18:00.000-07:002007-03-21T13:18:00.000-07:00Writerfella here --<BR/> The characteristic dodge, of course. The question was, what is YOUR definition of reality, Rob? If that is your answer, then what you are saying is that you don't have a definition that is your own.
