I choose not to believe either 'side', because I don't have any hard evidence either way. Polygraphs are not admissible in court for a reason - that reason is that people can cheat it. You go ahead and believe gossip if that is your desire. I shall wait - as I always do - for hard evidence. In the absence of that, I have no opinion on it.
That is not what you have done and you know it. You have instead said words to the effect of I don't believe Professor Hill and I don't believe Thomas' ex gf and then also said words to the effect of they both had bad motives for speaking out, even if what they claimed was true.
Here's what words to the effect of I don't know really look like:
I was too young to remember the Thomas hearings, but I have read about them and the allegations do disturb me. I would be much more comfy with Thomas as a Justice if I knew that they were not true.
Some version of the above indicates you made an effort to look into the matter, but lacked the evidence to reach a conclusion -- so you have kept An Open Mind.
Surely you can see the difference?
Happy now? The dastardly quotation marks are all gone.
No, I'm not. You remove the quotes but still claim I have in some what made a judgement as to who is telling the truth. I have not. It is not my fault that you cannot comprehend my posts. Other people seem to be able to. I must therefore conclude, by the evidence provided by you, that you lack the intellectual capacity to respond to what I write. You prefer to respond to what I did not write. I'll try to bear that in mind.
