Really? Where?

Get a better dictionary and look up 'weasel words'. As for the insult, I considered the description _apt_ considering the blatant manner in which you pretended that a wholly unjustified accusation of ignoring an argument was really an acknowlegement that I believed in the converse. A better person would have IMO issued an apology, but not Jose for some reason.

Another slimey slur from Jose. Tell me, what is making you argue in this manner?

Bollocks. I would have thought that telling lies about what I said (ie Jose said I have denied the existance of living saints) and casting slurs (ie 'ignoring other people's arguments') was a good indication that Jose had little or no respect for me. When I challenged him on the slurs, he accused me of 'intimidation', thereby expecting that I should suffer his low blows in silence.
>But patience has a limit.
And I have reached it long ago in the face of your malicious smears on my integrity. I am not a punching bag for you or for anyone else. If you persist in saying that something that I know or feel is wrong, then I will say so. If you do it politely then I respond in kind: Nikk E. has disagreed with me yet he has not felt the need to cast false aspersions, nor have I had heated words with him. But if you feel the need to attack my integrity, then you should not be surprised at the result.

Wrong. Rokar is also said to have been taken up into Solace and Mardron is stated to have embraced Solace and Glory when he died. You and Nils have not responded to this for some reason or another. Unlike you, I have not seen fit to pepper my posts with: 'LOOK! JOSE THE WEASEL IS IGNORING MY ARGUMENTS!!' because of this.

Wrong. The Saint has interceded. St Gerlant makes the Sword flame. As well as the GoG snippet I quoted at you before, look at the 'Malkioni Saints' in ToTRM#13. Only the Brithini and the Vadeli are pure humanists.

Herin lies the crux. Despite at least _two_ requests, you still has not provided any substance for your assertion that mortals in Solace cannot be interacted with (despite claiming it as writ from Greg and Sandy in one post, and a tenent of Malkioni faith in another). Once this wholly unnecessary proposition goes, what possible _need_ for the henotheists to deny that their ancestors are in Solace?

I'm afraid so too. I'm not counting on any further thread progress so long as Jose continues to debate what he thinks I said rather than what I actually said.
