Hannover,
I hear you have again been mouthing off about me, calling me "a pathetic and desparate liar".
To be sure, I have also called you and will keep on calling you a liar and a coward. But there’s a difference between my applying these designations to you and you calling me names. The difference is that my statements are accurate and appropriate.

Thanks Hannover, Cortavagatas was what I was trying to think of. Name calling does seem to be part and parcel of his argument style.....

I've always referred to them as "believers" or "traditionalist" but lately I am tempted to say "obfuscaters". These people are not stupid yet they defend even the most ludicrous positions, positions they should simply acquiesce... but they won't. They are constitutionally incapable of allowing even the most minor point.
To me, it's actually elucidating because if they won't allow the most obvious points -- points that will in no way cut into their precious six-million -- I know that they have lost all objectivity (or are just lying) and are only here to obfuscate. There are probably some that are just naive but many who have the capacity to be objective, won't.

WHAT KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAKNESSES DRIVE PEOPLE TO PREFER LIES OVER TRUTH?
This may have something to do with what is called Cognitive Dissonance. Leon Festinger developed the theory of Cognitive Dissonance in the 50's when he apparently stumbled onto a UFO cult in the Midwest. They were prophesying a coming world cataclysm and "alien rapture." When no one was raptured and no cataclysm took place he studied the believers response, and detailed it in his book "When Prophecy Fails." Festinger observed:
A man with a conviction is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point.
We have all experienced the futility of trying to change a strong conviction, especially if the convinced person has some investment in his belief. We are familiar with the variety of ingenious defenses with which people protect their convictions, managing to keep them unscathed through the most devastating attacks.
But man's resourcefulness goes beyond simply protecting a belief. Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose further that he has a commitment to this belief, that he has taken irrevocable actions because of it; finally, suppose that he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence, that his belief is wrong: what will happen? The individual will frequently emerge, not only unshaken, but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed, he may even show a new fervor about convincing and converting other people to his view.
It seems that part of the problem has to do with ego and the need to be "right." People with a high "need to be right" or "perfect" seem to be unable to acknowledge that they have been conned. "There is no crime in the cynical American calendar more humiliating than to be a sucker." People will go along with and support a psychopath, in the face of evidence that they have and ARE being conned, because their own ego structure depends on being right, and to admit an error of judgment would destroy their carefully constructed image of themselves.
