But I do much more than merely "expanding my data base", despite your feeble
attempt to deny it.

And I do this, again, despite your feeble attempts do deny it.

If there is anyohe who has "amply demonstrated" that he can't do this, it is
you, Bart. For you habitually accuse others of illogic, but then commit gross
logical errors of your own, such as claiming that Gary asserted "P and (not P)",
when you had _totally_ misread him to come up with your 'P'!

How ironic that you should say this, Bart! For this is _exactly_ the accusation
I was going to toss at you!

After all: it is YOU who proves you have no idea that this is what you ought to
do, when you come up with such a childish rejoinder as "you don't know what you
think you know".

What better proof could we ask for of your refusal to engage in rational or
scholarly discussion? And you handed it to us on a platter.

Maybe this a good definition. But we probably disagree on what falls
into the "error" category and the "heresy," category.

What "denies the faith," for one person does not for another. For
example, I know we differ radically on
