Brian Burke, N0IMD, claimed that a now-dead person wrote something.
If the now-dead person wrote what Brian claimed, what's the problem
with asking to see the original?
There's nothing wrong with a now-living person asking that question.
A now-dead person isn't going to ask it.
There's also nothing wrong with a now-living person from answering as
Heil has - "do your own homework."
Sure there is.
You claimed that a now-dead person wrote something here on rrap.
Your memory isn't perfect - in fact, you've recently been shown to be
mistaken on some things.
You've been asked to back up your claim - to show where the now-dead
person actually wrote what you claimed. But you either can't do that,
or won't do it.
Either way, your claim must be assumed to be false until you provide
some proof. Google contains all the archives.
I have seen a nonsense tactic used by both you, Brian P. Burke, N0IMD,
and Leonard H. Anderson. It goes like this:
You claim someone said or did something, but provide no proof. Usually
the false claim is in the form of a misquote or a misinterpretation of
history. When the claim is challenged, and the correct quote or history
provided, you either ignore the truth on and/or simply insult the
person. Often the misquote or mistake is repeated later, and the cycle
begins again.
Len does this more than you, but you've picked up on his example.
Misquoting the dead - that's pretty lame.
