It doesn't matter to me how many were actually there. My point is simply that it's nonsense to claim that there were three quarters of a million. By doing so, you act with the kind of credulousness that you so disdainfully dismiss in others. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm unconcerned that you should permit yourself this piece of whimsy. But if you go about painting others as stupid for their beliefs you fall prone to similar attacks on your own.
I'm still standing and pointing at you Baboonery. I name you. I indict you. J'accuse.
So it's 'nonsense' and 'credulous' to claim that there were x people at this thing, but the number that there were doesn't actually interest you at all? If that's the case, why is it 'nonsense'?
And I don't see any comparison at all between believing the estimate of the competent civil authority of the attendance at an event I saw with my own eyes, and believing anything anyone says about something they've never seen, solely because they're wearing a funny hat. But then you're an evertonian, so I'd expect you to be on the side of the fantasists.
So bitter. So, so bitter. So incredibly, gut-wrenchingly bitter.
