So I got in trouble

[Esquilax]

If your in over your head at any point you do not need a reason to not respond, just don't respond. I don't hold it against you. Besides I'm occupied with the half a dozen different direction this thread is Going to even remember what specifically the tyre thing was actually about.

I had a reason to respond, that being that when one considers those groups that would have an unbiased approach to appraising a given text, apologists for that text aren't generally considered, there. It'd be like if you were fact checking an autobiography, and the only person you interviewed was the author; there's a bias there towards preserving the claims made in the text, irrespective of the actual truth of them.

And that, by the way, is not even taking into account the track record apologists have for lying out their asses.
