Mellowguy you have not convinced me that you were not trying to be deceptive in using this term " related ". This whole thing about your relation to Sungirl2 started when I made the comment about whether you and she were on the same " debate team ". Her post were citing exactly, word for word in cases the same thing you were saying, like you two were comparing notes. Also she brought up the strawman thing like you had. I think that before this you just wanted us all to think that out of the blue this completely independent woman just happened to jump into the conversation supporting your point of view. Then Rick noticed that the postings from both you and Sungirl were coming from the same IP. Then when this is brought to your attention you just say she is a completely seperate person unrelated to you. Thats it. You could have just simply said at that time that she was your neighbor, she shares your same views, and you were posting on her behalf under the name of Sungirl2. Why in the world would it be relevant to us whether you were related to Sungirl2 through kinship? Like that would matter to us over what we were really wondering about, whether you just simply knew her. Regarding this that you wrote " So do you still think she is me? ", I am inclined to think that she is not you and a seperate person, that assuming that you have now been honest with us regarding the newly revealed information of yours that she is your neighbor. As far as our inquires about this being irrelevant, it is relevant and does matter because it calls into question the issue of your honesty. If you were being deceptive about this, what else would you be trying to deceive us about? That is a valid question in this circumstance. I'll tell you what is really zaney MG is your roundabout way of saying that you know someone.

You wrote " Last post on this, seriously ", and I think thats fine with the rest of us too. I mean there has to be some other topic we can argue about in a new thread, but maybe we should rest up for a while and hone our debating skills, and get all our strawmen in order :-)
