| − | For the record, I knew "Dataclarifier" as a co-worker in health care. After he had a TIA and brain-bleed in June/July 2018 and recovered, then resumed contributing to Conservapedia, he still needed a home health care companion. I offered him after I retired to move in as a private pay companion. We shared the same devotion to Jesus Christ. I got interested in his project of harmonizing the New Testament and asked if I could contribute a narrative version of it, since I had worked with the state commission for the blind. He was enthusiastic. I got permission to use his computer and signed on as IndependentSkeptic. Well, after I had done a lot on an audio adaptation, I had a chance to take a 4-week vacation. I just got back. After I finished what I had already done on the audio narrative pages, he told me what had been going on. I have read what RobSmith and VargasMilan have done. I also read the great support by NishantXavier. So I told Dataclarifier to make his final rebuttal under my ID. I agree with him on everything he said here above. Completely. You won't hear from me either, "as of this moment". '''I quit.'''

It will include the key texts we posted on your talk page. Neither RobSmith nor Conservative seemed willing to accept it. Probably because the sola scriptura answer is already a foregone conclusion they don't want to admit, because of confirmation bias.

| − | I'm going to add my own comment. It's pointless to respond to RobSmith's provocative Catholic-baiting and debate statements pregnant with anti-Catholic responses and [[misrepresentation]]s, it only generates more debate, which is what he wants. It's not enough for him to simply respond to controversial topics on the relevant debate page(s), he continues to insist on debate with repetitious content on NishantXavier's talk page (and insults as well), just as I warned he would. He revels in the contention he generates. To restrict him to debate pages only would cramp his style, and leave him unsatisfied and frustrated. That's not what he wants: He's happiest with No holds barred and No rules for debate. <br>@Conservative, even after RobSmith continued to provoke debate on NishantXavier's page you did not move any of RobSmith's debate comments to the relevant Debate pages, though you moved IndependentSkeptic's comment to the Purgatory debate page without including the context of it as being in fact in response to RobSmith's disparaging attack on him ("''you don't know what church is''") and his strawman attack on the doctrine of Purgatory. This suggests to me that you may not be aware of a lack of dispassionate and impartial judgment on your part. With genuine respect. <br> (I did warn IndependentSkeptic to stay off Conservapedia, and he wouldn't listen. I respectfully suggest you permanently block him and me, both of us, Block infinity. I am serious, no joke. Then we can get on with our lives. There is life after Conservapedia.) Thanks.
