dhw: "You talk of my “thinly-veiled derision”. This is a term I would never associate with myself. Perhaps you are confusing my posts with someone else’s."

Perhaps it is I, but since you asked for examples I will provide a few. I will color those words that might be considered "derisive".

"Abel, I’m struggling to find any coherence in your history of Planets X and Earth. (3Nov11 15:21)"

"Once upon a time in the realms of dark matter – the nature of which is unknown to all humans except yourself – the first basic forms of life spontaneously but inevitably assembled themselves on low-entropy Planet X." (5Nov11 15:54)

"After lots of humans, they then created Adam and Eve (any relation?), so Genesis didn’t quite get its story right. (NB the Bible is a collection of myths, but thanks to your special gifts you know which sections are true.)" (5Nov11 15:54)

"Sorry about all the parentheses, please correct any mistakes, and once more forgive my obtuseness."*** (5Nov11 15:54)

*** I know that on the surface this seems innocent enough, but it was not. It was delivered just after I had written a response to a series of questions that you had posed. The responses that I gave you were rendered obtuse by their poor formatting and they contained lots of parenthesis.

dhw: "Would you please therefore identify what significant distortions you are referring to."

Once again, since you have asked I will post a few.

"They found out somehow that we humans were messing things up, so they sent aliens to teach us a lesson, but they got corrupted too." 1* (9Nov11 16:55)

1)* I never said that heaven sent the aliens to teach us a lesson anywhere in my writings.

"In reply, you have told us that you have found a cure for cancer***, and the Indians who used it searched for the source of the cure, as the world expects that person to be the Messiah. Eventually, their search led to alien spirit telepaths being sent (by whom?) to assault your mind, ....." 2* (9Nov11 16:55)

2* I said, "Everything was being set in place for a world-wide assault set to begin on 6/6/06, but something happened: a better false Messiah was found. Someone in India was using methylglyoxal to cure the majority of the stage four cancers that they were treating. Knowing that the world expected the Messiah to be the one that cured cancer, they went seeking the source of the cure....The spirit telepaths that they sent to assault my mind opened my eyes to the world of dark matter." Though there was a little ambiguity in what I said because of my use of the pronoun "they", using that pronoun to mean anything other than the aliens is illogical. The Indians who where using the cure and at one time had the name of the theorist who sent them the mechanism, had no need to "search" for the source of the cure. Indian researchers also do not have the means to send spirit telepaths either, again, logically removing the Indian researchers as an option as to who "they" referred to.

"Are you, then, the real Messiah sent by the gods, as opposed to the puppet the aliens wanted to install?" (9Nov11 16:55) 3*

3*) I said I would not lie and say I was the Messiah. I also said that they (meaning the aliens) wanted to make me into a "puppet" to make me masquerade as the Messiah. I certainly tried to be clear that I am not the Messiah and yet I failed.

These are the distortions that you made on November 9th in one of your posts. I believe this is enough to illustrate my point.
