David,
The only thing I've ever done here related to the minutes is repeat exact quotes that have already been put on here prior by Tom and offered what I think they mean and how they read.
What you
think the documents mean is entirely worthless unless others are able to examine the basis for your interpretations, and that is not the case here. In other words, I don't care what you think if you cannot back it up, and you can't.
If you have a different interpretation of the meaning of those direct quotes then by all means, let's hear it, because I don't recall you weighing in at all yet with what I'm certain will be a very interpretive reading.
You are joking right? You want me to offer my interpretation of alleged fragments from documents that are being hidden from me? I am pretty good, but that is pushing it a bit, don't you think? Although come to think of it, I have understood the MCC documents better than you guys even without seeing them. Still though, it is absurd to offer your theories without backing them up and it is absurd to demand any of us have a conversation under these conditions.
You guys seem to be having trouble with the concept of
factual analysis, in that you don't appear to understand either the FACT part or the ANALYSIS part.
Take my Francis land swap theory, for example. I have a certain understanding of documents and information that is readily available to all of us, and I have drawn conclusions based on that understanding. You are free to challenge my understanding, challenge the validity of my conclusions, offer your own alternative theories, or otherwise vet BOTH the documents and information. Agree with me or not,
it would be foolish to claim that I had not supported my analysis with the facts or that I have not made all such facts readily available to all comers.
In contrast, you guys just tell us what you think the MCC documents mean, and you never allow the information to be vetted. Sure you guys occasionally release a specially selected fragment, but that too is meaningless because it is out of context and
begs the question of what isn't being released.
Plus Mike, you guys have terrible track record on these subjects, going back years. Think of everything you and Tom have gotten wrong in this thread alone! I'd have to be an idiot to take your words for anything.
