So basically the whole premise is faulty and reasoning is confused. Your tact has been similar to asking someone 'when was the last time they beat their wife'.
Also, for what it's worth, you seem to be rather hypocritical when it comes to handing out sarcasm. I seem to recall you (quite sarcastically) mentioning something about "swamp gas" debunkery when someone was critical of your 'UFO' identifications.
yet you STILL havent provided any reasoning for your arguments. now you are saying that you are not dismissing q/a.
then, how it is. you are not dismissing q/a, yet, you are dismissing it, there is no reason for it yet.
even if i approach something sarcastically, i still provide reason. i still havent seen you explain any logic behind the objections or arguments you have made yet.

that was not posted in relation to you. thats your misunderstanding.

There is a difference between acceptance of correlation of some recent events or someone's mystical interpretation of Mayan calendar with timing given in the material, and acceptance of the material itself. There is a logical fallacy of assuming dismissal of the material itself (any of it) based on disagreement with someone's interpretation or belief in what seems to be of consequence to the material.
so in short, you are not objecting to what Ra said about harvest happening in 2011, but, the linkage in between that and mayan calendar.
is that it ?

excuse me, but you have STILL not provided any REASONING for your objection to either the q/a (which you say you dont dismiss, yet, havent said anything about it) or the linkage in between mayan calendar and the q/a.
no reasoning at all, still, yet you are continually dubbing an approach/relation someone else established with reasoning and references, as 'imaginary'.
where is the reasoning.
