I have debated with myself long and hard as to whether I ought to respond to this question. Finally, I decided that I should, if only so that it cannot be said that I evaded the question (and also because I demanded an answer to my own question). So here is my response which, I am sure, you will not like:
You are the kind of person who, having dug himself into a hole, lies to get himself out of it rather than simply ceasing excavation.
Why do I say this? In post #29, I gave the definition of the Hebrew term בַּֽעַל־אוֹב ba'al ov provided by the Mishnah (Treatise Sanhedrin 7:7) and you responded in post #30 with
No, seriously! Is there any real documentation on this? First you state over and over again that the Mishnah is commentary, then turn around and quote it as absolute truth....
This was quite clearly intended for me peronally and yet, now that I have finally wrung a reply from you to the question when I had stated even once that “that the Mishnah is commentary” (you had claimed that I had stated this “over and over again”) you now back-pedal and claim that “In the English language, ‘you’ is either singular or plural”. Well, I know that “you” can be either singular or plural in contemporary usage (although this is actually a fairly recent development), but it is clear from the context of the prior correspondence (which is available for all to see) that this is just a transparent excuse and a pretence on your part. You were not speaking generally in the plural, but specifically to me in the singular.
