Made up facts, illogic, distraction and personal attacks is the method by which the errant knight tries to win arguments. Believing that popularity is the same as facts, he tries to appeal to the base readership avoiding anything that might be confused as facts. The old timer gets upset whenever I challenge him on his lack of evidence and rather than admit defeat he craps on the forum trying to stink up the place in the hopes that his stench drives me away.
Just goes to prove than when a person needs a lie to sell a book, you can make sure they will never admit to that very lie.
