No, it's not. It's a false and misleading statement to portray that as a false and misleading statement.

First, only two other people have posted on this thread besides you and I, and one of them is banned.
|
If someone who states 2 + 2 = 4 were to be banned from an internet forum, would that mean he or she was wrong? A violation of a forum rule doesn't invalidate an argument.

Secondly, the other guy said that he agreed that the Founders were split over the standing army (which contradicts what you said).
|
So he agrees with
neither of us. Note that I never claimed he agreed with me. I stated that the people who posted in here did not agree with
you. Again - no one else who has posted in this thread has agreed with you.

He goes on to talk about an argument that I had not yet fully addressed about the Founders foreign policy, which I had not addressed as much until after he posted (by talking about the War of 1812). So you don't get much help from the crowd either.

I got more help from the crowd in this thread than you did, and that's my only point. I invite other members to come in here and read all these posts and just see which statements are true and correct, and which statements are misleading and false.
