FALSE, but nice try.

Question: What level of proof is adequate proof, then?

SF: I talk in terms of evidence. The legal profession recognizes certain
standards: in a civil court, "preponderance of the evidence;" in a criminal
court, "beyond a reasonable doubt." I think there is, right now, quite
sufficient evidence.

The legal profession also has another term for what you write about. It 
is called hearsay, and is inadmissable in court....

False, but nice try.  I know it is hard for you to believe,
but the law in courts are based on evidence.

That's why hearsay is not admitted in a court of law. 

Why debunkers
absolutely REFUSE to look at the evidence is simple,
it makes them look like the fools they are!!  Sorry Charlie,
there is no way out of this one, the evidence is stacked
against you and your Cult of Useful Idiots. 

If you were defending yourself in court and you said "I've examined
the evidence that proves my innocence, and my word is good enough,"
then you'd find yourself found guilty.

The simple fact is that you've never posted an investigation you've
made. You just cut-n-paste others work and refuse to discuss it
because you don't know anything more about it than what you've stolen.

Try scientific evidence next time.......

This is where the debunkers get cooked everytime,
debunkers just say NO to scientific evidence,

Well, you do, true.

and YES to tabloids.  Point in fact, the main
debunker here has admitted he is an "expert
of tabloids." Of course I am referring to the one
known as The Sludge/Sage!!

He was refering to you and your favourite cut-n-pastes. Though, you
probably know that.

Name one case you've investigated? No? Okay, then, why not give your
personal opinion of the Berkshire Triangles case? No?

Oh dear, just once, Flaffer, just once I'd like to see you actually
demonstrate some knowledge of your own. If not for me, but for all the
others here on these newsgroups.
