And actually, here is Larry's whole post, just so he doesn't figure out a way to delete it: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by QuirtEvans: "so he could have her cremated, removing the evidence that he is the one who caused her to be in her condition in the first place." More pernicious, unsupported and unsupportable lies. The Schindlers haven't suggested it. Jeb Bush hasn't suggested it. But Larry, the great Larry, with his omniscient gut feeling, he knows that Michael Schiavo did this to her! Better read up on potassium deficiencies, oh great one. What did Michael do, pour a couple of gallons of water down her throat every day? You'll say anything, you'll do anything, to win the argument. You should be ashamed of yourself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been more than suggested. They have even considered, and in fact are still considering, having a grand jury investigation into this very subject. What no one has brought up other than yourself is potassium deficiencies. That seems to be you simply injecting pernicious, unsupported and unsupportable lies. The news reports on this matter that I have seen referred to the discovery of broken bones found early on, far before any deterioration would have set in as a result of her condition. Does anyone else find it ironic that her maiden name is Schindler? Her ancestor managed to help hundreds of Jews escape the death camps, and now Terri is in a death camp herself, at the hands of the State of Florida, and Governor Greer. -------------------- Life isn't measured by the breaths you take. Life is measured by the things that left you breathless I rest my case. There is no point in discussing issues with people who just make things up, and then catch themselves in ever greater webs of lies and insults to try to cover it up. |

I heard what you said, but youare not bothering to listen. Even in my original statement, made in the middle of a sock-puppet war, is not incorrect, when you crunch the numbers of outpatient vs inpatient events. I wrote that I would retract the word "highly", if it made Lucy feel better. If I said that chemo is only done on an outpatient basis, you are more than welcome to delve through the remains of the OCR, and rebutt me. It seems a lot of folks nowadays like to go back over 3-4 years worth of stuff hunting for needles... |

Jolly: You are as delusional here as in the original Schiavo threads. I will re-post my comment from page 7, since you must have missed it: "JBryan - "Apparently it does not exist. You did not quote his remarks" Here is your original quote from Larry, from the old Coffee Room thread On Michael Shiavo of March 29. I can't believe I wasted 15 minutes finding it: Larry: "Does anyone else find it ironic that her maiden name is Schindler? Her ancestor managed to help hundreds of Jews escape the death camps, and now Terri is in a death camp herself, at the hands of the State of Florida, and Governor Greer." Larry is now proven as a flat out liar, who tried to use lots of hand waving insults in this thread to divert the issue. Here is the full link: http://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/ubb/ultimate.../10/9162/2.html I await sincere apologies from Larry and JBryan. You may assume I will have zero respect for their intellectual integity until they arrive. " I must now add your name to the list. Larry said: " Her ancestor managed to help hundreds of Jews escape the death camps, and now Terri is in a death camp herself" How many times to I have to re-post his comments before you bother to read??? You are worse than JA ever was. Parse it anyway you want, Larry said exactly what I said he did. And in the whole Schiavo threads he and you and JB etc. just made stuff up without looking at any facts, harming both Michael Schiavo and the whole country in the process. This particular lie is proven to a certainty. I await your apology, or I will assume that you have no shred of intellectual integity at all. |

Jeffrey, his is what I said:
Your link does not work. if you can show me where you quoted it so he could not go back and change it you have my apology. As far as the diatribe above and you accusing me of "making suff up" I regard that as an attack on my intellectual integrity. One that you cannot back up and one for which I will expect your apology. |

JB - The link works fine. Larry denied that he said that the Ms. Schindler was descended from the famous Oscar Schindler, and I quoted him in full saying just that. Both the link and the full quote were provided above. Both you and he and Jolly and 89 just like to make stuff up on the Schiavo topic. This has utterly destroyed any intellectual creditability you might ever hope to have in the future. Again, I await your apology. |

Phlebe: It seems per OED that 89th is correct:
and
If popular trade journals are using "mediums" in place of "media", then this is but another indication of sloppy writing and the erosion of language which proceeds from and leads to confusion in thinking. Perhaps you were using the word in a different sense -- the whole conversation was a bit too ghastly to follow too closely -- but "mediums" seems correct only for concrete entities (such as spiritualists, types of artistic materials, and such). |

You'll get no apology from me. Instead I will have to insist you provide one example of me "making stuff up". If you cannot (and you cannot because I have not) then I will expect your apology. Stop obfuscating and put up or shut up. BTW, I don't know if Larry siad what you claim he said or not. Larry asked you to prove that he said it and you claimed that the OCR archives were unavailable. I simply disabused you of that notion and asked you to find it. If you can, fine, he said it. But I have taken no position on whether he said it or not and your conflating my actions with whatever you perceive Larry to be doing is intellectually dishonest. |

I wish Jeffrey had not dragged out my old post, it just reopens old wounds and old fights. However, it is abundantly clear, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Larry was saying that Oscar Schindler was an ancestor of Terri Schiavo:
Perhaps, as Thumperino suggests, Larry was simply trying to point out a coincidental similarity in the names, and used the wrong word. However, if Larry misspoke, the word he was looking for was neither "antecedent" nor "predecessor". It was "namesake". |

I simply disabused you of that notion and asked you to find it. If you can, fine" I must assume you don't read my posts in reply to you. I quoted Larry's comments in full, and Quirt seemed able to read and copy them. I suggest you look higher up on this page. For you to still say that you "don't know if Larry said what claim or not" is simply lie or proof of your idiocy or proof of your stubbornness, or all three. since I quoted Larry just a few posts ago saying "Does anyone else find it ironic that her maiden name is Schindler? Her ancestor managed to help hundreds of Jews escape the death camps, and now Terri is in a death camp herself, at the hands of the State of Florida, and Governor Greer." Case closed. You're busted, JB. I am still awaiting the full apology. |

If you don't look at the evidence right in front of you in plain english, then there is no hope for you. This is sillier than arguing against JA. |

Ivorythumper, The OED explicitly says that "free variation is present in most senses"; the only exception given is the sense of the word which concerns spiritualism, where it is "almost always mediums". Hence, when you say "mediums seems correct only for concrete entities", you are disagreeing with the OED, which merely says that it is "common for concrete entities". If I remember rightly, Phlebas was using the word mediums to refer to blogs (plural). How does the section you have bolded, which simply refers to a "new singular", render that usage incorrect?

JB: One more time, here is the entire original post by Larry: quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by QuirtEvans: "so he could have her cremated, removing the evidence that he is the one who caused her to be in her condition in the first place." More pernicious, unsupported and unsupportable lies. The Schindlers haven't suggested it. Jeb Bush hasn't suggested it. But Larry, the great Larry, with his omniscient gut feeling, he knows that Michael Schiavo did this to her! Better read up on potassium deficiencies, oh great one. What did Michael do, pour a couple of gallons of water down her throat every day? You'll say anything, you'll do anything, to win the argument. You should be ashamed of yourself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been more than suggested. They have even considered, and in fact are still considering, having a grand jury investigation into this very subject. What no one has brought up other than yourself is potassium deficiencies. That seems to be you simply injecting pernicious, unsupported and unsupportable lies.

Jeffrey, the reason you can't understand what you've read is the same thing that causes you to be unable to understand and discuss religion in an intelligent manner. You pick out one single thing that you can use to support your views, and ignore the entire body of context that it is wrapped in. Now, because I failed to put " " around the word ancestor so the slower minded among us wouldn't get side tracked from the full context and actual point that was being made, you have done what you do when you try to understand or discuss many other subjects - you have taken a statement out of context, and tried to make it a stand alone concept. I think most people here understand that you have to consider the entirety of someone's point before you try to come to a rational and sane conclusion about their meaning. Had we been sitting face to face having a real time discussion, the moment someone heard my statement and asked "are you really trying to say they are related?" I would have immediately clarified my intended meaning to clear up any misunderstandings by pointing out that the comment was meant parenthetically, using poetic license if you will, and not intended to be taken as saying they were actually related. Since this was done in a written medium, with several hours or even days passing between a person having written something, others writing things having nothing to do with a given statement, and input written by those with slower skills of comprehension such as yourself before the person who wrote the statement that is being misunderstood has the opportunity to correct the misunderstandings, or misworded statement, the reader who applies an intelligent approach to following a subject will consider the entire writings of the person they misunderstood before jumping to conclusions or making accusations regarding their intended meaning. So, if you take my entire writings on the subject, you will see that while the statement you have pulled out and focused on is textually correct, it was followed almost immediately in conversational terms with statements written to clarify the meaning of the statement for the benefit of those who are objectively and intelligently trying to understand the full intent of the writer, statements that make it completely clear to a rational and objective reader that no intent existed to claim they were *actually* related. But this is how you approach *every* subject you want to nitpick apart. It's why you lack any semblance of logic when you try to discuss religion, and many other topics. Sure - if one uses a simple minded approach or has an agenda, you can in fact pull that statement out as a stand alone statement, and make it appear that what you claim is what I meant. Unfortunately as I have explained, this is not how one goes about fairly and intelligently following things. I said what you say in literal terms, but in full context went on to explain that it was *not* intended to be taken literally, and in fact stated flatly that I was not saying that. Any rational minded person having read the full body of my writing on the subject is able to see the *full* context and meaning, and reflect back on the portion that might have left a question in their mind and put it into context. You on the other hand choose to stubbornly focus on a single leaf while not noticing the tree it hangs from. That speaks to your own intellectual vacuum, not mine or anyone else's. To make my point, let me use the same approach you are taking with my statement and apply it to one of your own statements. In this post I have linked to here, you wrote "I don't post much because I have little of educated value to add ". Now - you have lied Jeffrey, because you post a lot. And you are pretending to be something you are not, because you literally wrote that you have little educated value to add, yet you constantly try to present yourself as having an educated point of view on things. So which is it, Jeffrey? You cannot hide from your statement. I have provided a link to *your own words* to prove that you made the statement. What you *meant* when you wrote those words don't mean a damned thing now Jeffrey - you said you don't post much because you have little of educated value to add. So why are you posting so much? Why are you trying to present yourself as having educated value to add? Your intellectual integrity is now in question, Jeffrey. Did you or did you not write the words "I don't post much because I have little of educated value to add"? Do you deny it? Don't try to explain it in context, stick with the statement. Let me also add that you are a lucky man that the conversation *has* been in a written medium. Had this conversation occurred around a table face to face, the first time you called me a liar you would have been warned in no uncertain terms what your fate would be if you did it again. The second time you did it, you would have been given your last warning. The third time, and the discussion would have ended, and life as you know it would be altered for awhile. Lastly, while I can't speak for Jbryan or Jolly, I personally could care less what you think of my "intellectual integrity". Having none yourself, it renders the worth of your opinion on the issue worthless. |

Another example of your lack of intellectual integrity Jeffrey, is your constant references to the Schiavo discussion. I have not written a single word regarding Schiavo or that subject in this thread. It has not been, and is not now involved in a single thing I have been participating in in this thread. I have only written about cancer treatments, oncologists, and various posts attempting to defend myself against your intellectually vacant logic. |
