Atlas, did you say:
Quote:
Peter Ruckman teaches that life starts when a baby breaths open air out side of the mothers womb.
Yes or no?

Does that misquote his position? Some might say "yes", but the exact meaning of misquoting one's position as opposed to misquoting one's words could be debatable.

Would you be willing to admit that your first statement misrepresented Dr. Ruckman's position or at least did not make it clear?

I will gladly admit that my sentence would better have been, "aside from the fact that Dr. Ruckman's position was misstated," and would apologize and ask that you forgive me for not being as clear as I should have been.

For the record, I very early in the discussion about the "living soul" made my position unmistakably clear. http://av1611.com/forums/showpost.ph...3&postcount=10

You and I agree on the position, just not in the language of the discussion. I have not called you a liar.
