You do realize Steve DID speak for him self on the matter, and his answer is what Simon was responding to? So, how is that a straw man? And please identify the "poisoning the well" fallacy here, because I don't think you understand what it means.
In other news, I'm still waiting for you to answer a question I asked you pages ago. I'll ask again. Do you think that the testimony in the Bible is high quality, reliable testimony? Why or why not?
Yes... and other than the general topic, there is very little else, that corresponds to what Steve said. And I do not think he is reflecting Steve's position in his assertions.
As to poisoning the well.... I think that calling him intellectually dishonest qualifies, especially when it's concerning a straw man. It may be somewhat disputable, but the repetition across the board is getting old. It's more about attacking and discrediting the person, than the arguments and reasons presented.
As to your question.... I don't remember the context of the question, and frankly your feigning of interest only to criticize for discussing previously doesn't lend me to starting another discussion with you right now.
After this many posts.... I'm still trying to figure out where this supposed special pleading is occurring?
