Clarification please...

So far my attacks have been on EQF's history of:

1. Unwillingess to test with actual predictions.
2. Tendency to claim success after the fact.
3. Continuation of his insistence on pushing his "program" and "world reknown reputation" WITHOUT answering basic questions directly and up front - hence the "snake oil label."
4. His tendency to go into "victim" mode the moment he is cornered...

Would you prefer that I substitute, "Put your money where your mouth is?" for the anatomical but equivalent cliche - which I used without using the actual offensive words? Either way it's the same thing - or as another might say, "C%^p or get off the toilet..."

In other words Canie...I'm attacking EQF's behaviour and applying the appropriate labels for persons who use such behaviors - not just tossing out ad-homs per se or attacking per se.

Nor have I tossed out expletives in my responses...nor has EQF at this point. So I'll say that things have been quite civil so far which makes him a rather polite snakeoil salesman. I'll give him credit for that.

By definition:

Attacking questionable behavior != offensive behavior on the attacker's part.

Attacking claims = normal and acceptable in discussions

Again, please clarify.
