Thanks. I guess we'll just have to take your word for it.

A vaccuous claim.

Because you kept representing that I said what I did not say, you
idiot.

Your logic is profound. You altered my formulations to make it look as
if your alterations are what I claim myself. Then I asked you not to do
that. And now you twist that into something else again.

For your own scorecard? I did once post a thread for Tony Orlow so that
he'd have the axioms for reference. But what would be the point for you
since you are even less familiar than is Orlow with the notation of
first order predicate calculus in which these are axioms are precisely
stated?

The burden is not on me to show that I didn't claim that there's a
proof that there is no consistent theory.
