I was quite surprised to find that one of my posts to the Evangelical and Jehovah's Witness list on Yahoogroups (evangelicals_and_jws@yahoogroups.com) was being discussed on David Barron's website. Barron is apparently a JW. His comments may be found here:

1. This was, of course, part of a continuing discussion, so that taking it out of the context of that discussion eliminates the points and counterpoints that were being made.

2. I have been involved with these discussions for a long time, and I would ask David what evidence I was ignoring? He seems to conflate disagreement with "not listening," unaware of the fact that a person may know and understand, but still not agree. I staunchly disagree that ἐγὼ εἰμί is a "present of past action," and I believe that if John had wanted to express what the JW's claim, the Greek constructions that I suggested would be a good way of doing so.

I therefore invite David to present whatever evidence I have allegedly ignored, and to show in what way my argument is a straw man.
