Tie goes to the .... ?

That was not my claim, and I think you know that. Rewording someone's position and attempting to pass it off as representing their view does not constitute proper discourse.

You said Evans doesn't mention "ties". Agreed? You then said that "authoritive opinion" was that "there are no ties". Agreed? Now either Evans didn't mention "ties" at all, OR he said "ties don't exist" which is another thing entirely. Which is it? Or did you have some other "authoritive opinion" in mind? If so, I'd like to know who.

I haven't reworded anything, GB. I have simply repeated your own claims from this debate.

Perhaps this has gone on far too long. We are friends and if you feel that is threatened by the discussion then I too would prefer to drop it. I just don't want to go having you think I was "messin' witcha".

Cheers
