What won't work? The facts? The facts rarely work with you. However, others can clearly see that you made a claim that was wrong based on what had previously happened in the same thread you made that claim. No one who is willing to look at the truth believes your victim stories. "Now that you have lost the ability to bait me," I don't bait you, Frank. I don't need to bait you. You want to get into internet argument because... well, I don't actually know why. I don't want to know why. But the way you act is your responsibility, not others. “It won’t work this time.”

Oh my god. How can you be this stupid? 1.) You made claim A 2.) We made claim B, which was a mirror image of claim A 3.) You said if you made a claim like claim B we would challenge you for links and evidence. HOWEVER... In Step 1 you made a claim like claim B and no demand for links or evidence was given. It's not like you made a prediction that turned out to be wrong some point in the future, you made a claim that was wrong based on what had happened earlier in the same thread. You are just trying to pretend you are the victim here. You have a persecution complex and paranoid tendencies. And no, I'm not going tilt at the windmills of your mind; delusions can't be fought with facts. “When you don’t do what you most often do, that makes you inconsistent, not me a liar.”

As far as somebody challenging it, I knew that CWA has more "member" members than the NOW. I knew someone was going to challenge it because they COULD.

How the heck does that logic work? When you make a blanket assertion, considering your track record, it's gonna be challenged.

Because I think it's crap. There are a lot of righty groups with more members than their lefty version, but I highly doubt CWA is one of them. Could you please prove that assertion?
