Just to be clear-- I don't a problem with CH having theories. Lots of people in this game and on this board have lots of theories. The problem I do have can can best be illustrated with a scene from one of the great documentaries of our time.
I'm speaking, of course, of Spinal Tap.
Nigel Tufnel: "We play louder than anyone else. Our speakers go to eleven, not ten like the speakers for other bands".
Rob Reiner: "Uhhh... how can that make a difference? Don't they only go so loud, no matter whether you call it ten or eleven"?
Nigel: (long pause while he thinks)-- "Our speakers go to eleven".
My problem is the way CH has "argued" his case. He has absolutely, steadfastly refused to respond to any points made to him and any evidence presented, simply repeating his mantras over and over again. And, of course, he has presented himself as a pace martyr when I blew my stack at that behavior.
George, stop trying to "wind me up", as you and your countrymen would say. You know it's not a first amendment question and you know I'm not going to ban you (probably), and some, like CH, don't get your deadpan wit. You are reinforcing his martyrdom.
