    Here we see Corbutt doing what he claimed he'd no longer do - respond
    to my post. He's clearly responding to my most recent post:

    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.conspiracy.jfk/c/_K7HML2Ge1g/m/Zqte6RpyAAAJ

    But he has no specific answers to it, so he goes on a logical fallacy
    rant.

    Corbutt *KNOWS* he cannot demonstrate that any of the facts & evidence
    I post are "false claims" - which is why he stopped responding to me.

    It was a losing proposition for him.

    And the facts tell the tale...

    And then there's masturbating, which you do every time Ben and I post something.


    Logical fallacy deleted.


    When we don't post, all you do is cry for us because you don't want to end another day with blue balls.
    When we post, you stick that hand in your pants and play with your magic bullet and two empty shells.
    Bend over and tell us if that hole is an entrance wound or an exit wound.
    ROFLMAO


    Logical fallacy deleted. Corbutt couldn't answer the question. (The
    answer, of course, is "entrance."
