David,
Niether Phil or I are as stupid as you portray in your attacks on us. You always presume that someone who disagrees with you must be an idiot, but that is nothing but arrogance on your part, not reality.
BTW, the one document you (finally when others didn't do it, and thanks for that) confirmed Tillie was the designer as much as anything. So, one piece that goes against TMacs initial thread idea, and none of his extenisve reading and researching to support his original thesis has been presented by him. NONE.
Can I pull a David M here and ask why it is YOU can't understand one of the simplest words of the English language. NONE means NONE, David, no matter how you try to parse it.
BTW, liar, bluffer, in this context is all the same. And I just see where TMac is again pushing his theory, without posting any supporting documents while chastising Phil yet again, and letting it spill over into the old NOrth Shore thread, too. It seems to be a double standard, to me.
When we don't agree with your interpretations, you playing defense by going on offense - such as when you won't answer a question but demand others do, name calling, etc. isn't good or logical argument - its just argumentative.
You posting one document can't be construed as you having take the road of the high and mighty re: interest in history either.
And like everyone else on here, I am naturally curious about whatever those old course documents, pictures, etc. show. I haven't done the research Tom Mac has, and always appreciate it when he and others show old stuff from any course. I don't always agree 100% with his analysis, but that falls under what would be natural disagrements between reasonable men.
I stand by my stance the TMac is out of bounds on the idea of this thread by posting a theory with no evidence and then demanding absolute proof from Phil. It is simply a tactic that is guaranteed to start a flame war, whether intentional or not, but in context of other discussions here, I think Tom made an intentional judgement, in pursuing a personal agenda against others on this board, rather than intelligently discussion the history of Shawnee. That is not always the case with Tom, but I regret to say, I believe it is in this case.
David, at one time, your responses to me were civil, or about in proportion to whatever I dished out your way, and I felt like we had sort of an understanding about each other, and I respected you. Lately, nearly every one of your posts lashes out, attacks, and questions other posters, all while accusing them of doing the same. (and not coincidentally, provides less substantive contributions than before) I wish you would go back to some semblance of rationality, but you seem to have completely lost it from what I read on these boards. We can deal with difficult Dave, but not demented Dave!
Its certainly time for all of us to take a Merion and Shawnee break, for the benefit of all.
