I’m no nirther, I’m just a skeptic. I don’t just accept anyone’s say-so. And nobody’s putting out any proof, just tangential stuff.

If that makes people think I’m a nirther, well, that’s just idiocy. There’s a pretty serious difference.

And of course, the nirthers have a much harder row to hoe, because their position currently is based on a logical fallacy (“Lack of proof is proof of lack”).

On the other hand, we’ve seen that even Snopes isn’t incorruptible. “Appeal to authority” is also a logical fallacy. Are we now taking Obama at his word?

All I’m saying is that NEITHER side has persuaded me. And that’s it.
