If this has indeed happened many times, it should be easy to find an
example you can cite.

Rest assured that James has already seen the example I provided, Billy.
He probably wants to comment on that example, but he's in the self-
imposed, unfortunate position of not being able to reply directly to
me, since he has to do his fake-killfile shtick of pretending not to
read my posts. Yet the predicament these fake killfilers usually face
is that my posts are often conclusive in terms of evidence and facts,
whether about C or anything else, and that's an uncomfortable position
for them because they're aware of how many people read my posts, and
they're aware that silence gives a perception of defeat and resignation,
so they have to try to maneuver my posts into quotes from others, lest
Thompson, Heathfield, & Co. look completely stupid yet again. (Of
course, a real killfiler knows how to filter out replies to people he
doesn't like, so this whole act about being unable to filter out replies
to people they don't like makes the fake killfilers appear not only
disingenuous but also technically incompetent). What's happening here
is that you need to be prodded, and the only way James could do that
was by duplicating Thompson's reply to you.

But then again, you supposedly don't read my posts either, Billy.
So perhaps the best move for you here is either to find a different
example that supports your claim (I've found four other examples
in only ten minutes of searching, one from Ian Collins) or to bow out
gracefully and tell them you couldn't find any. Either way, they're
going to look pretty ridiculous outside of their little fake-killfile
bubble.
