Reply #17: There's no evidence that there weren't attempts to buy him a pony either

[oberliner]

If I claim that groups were attempting to buy a pony for him, I would think you would want some evidence of that claim.

Similarly, if one claims that groups were attempting to bar him from attending this event, I would think one would want some evidence of that claim as well.

Simply saying there's no evidence that there weren't attempts to bar him is as convincing as saying that there's no evidence that there weren't attempts to buy him a pony.

The onus is on those who claim that something occurred to show that it did.

What possible evidence could be provided that would prove that there were not attempts to bar him?

All the players involved said that they did not attempt to bar him, and the person in charge of the synagogue said that he was not contacted at all regarding this.
