yichusdik – I appreciate your concern, however the point of this discussion is not for me to ‘prove’ anything to ready now. It is to show everybody else that people like ready now are quite willing to pontificate about whatever they feel like without any real evidence; that they are bombastic, dogmatic and will simply try and ride rough-shod over anything that challenges their nice, neat little world-view. They will not answer direct questions directly, nor bring mareh mekomos for their ‘quotes’, nor any evidence for any of their claims. They think they can shoot a fly with a blunderbuss. Did you see how I asked ready now 5 very specific questions, asked outright for direct answers, evidence and mareh mekomos and yet ready now simply ignored all of them and instead wrote some waffle about something I’d already explained to him/her in the previous post. The point is that I think many posters in the CR feel a bit overwhelmed or threatened by people like ready now and I’m trying to show them that they shouldn’t be, that ready now and his/her ilk are not the sole arbiters of hashkofo, nor do they often even know what they are talking about. They simply claim things and, when challenged, repeat their claims, thinking that simple repetition, maybe with added capitalization, is good enough to answer those challenges (see ready now’s repeated assertion that all literature “IS a ‘blueprint'” for plays etc. despite lack of evidence and despite the fact that I raised logical objections to the claim). I hope that clarifies things.
