175377, Just take your L and begone, you mendacious mendicant!

The argument TODAY was not about the magnitude of Fela's influence on James Brown or vice versa... I finished with that discussion a year ago.

TODAY the issues are:

1. Did Warren Coolidge lie when he said Fela married Sandra Smith... at ANY point? (yes)
2. Do the linked posts illustrate that Warren Coolidge will reject concrete evidence that is put before him and continue to believe what he wants to believe (yes)
3. Is Warren Coolidge inclined to engage in ad hominem and/or conjectural arguments rather than logically sound ones? (yes)
4. Is it therefore a waste of time and energy to engage with Warren Coolidge on a logical/factual level (yes)

THOSE are the points being made here... not the thesis of some year-old post.

If you wanna refute anything, why not start with any of the points above?
