Simply stating that you "don't know" is evading the issue, and is not, as you claimed "the most reasonable answer" given (i) the claims you have made about the matter and about the O9A for over a year, and given (ii) that you claimed that the question itself was "a piece of fallacious reasoning", and given (iii) the very nature of the question itself.
Since you claimed that it was "a piece of fallacious reasoning" you should be able to explain, in the precise terms of traditional logic, what is incorrect about the 'major premise' and the 'minor premise' and the conclusion of that argument.
Please do provide an explanation.
Since you may have some difficulty, here to help you is that argument in logical terms, and which terms reveal that you are certainly able to give an answer to the question but just prefer not to.
1. Did - or did not - Kris admit that he "didn't give a **** about" the O9A code? Yes or no.
2. Is not - according to those with a proven and initiated understanding of O9A esotericism - following that code what distinguishes someone who is O9A from someone who is not O9A? Yes or no.
3. Therefore, if the answer to both 1 and 2 are "yes", it logically follows that Kris was falsely claiming to be O9A.
Now, you can hardly dispute the fact that Kris did make that admission, as it's a matter of public record. So you are left with disputing the 'minor premise'; that is, that following the code is what distinguishes someone as O9A.
So you only have two logical options.
1. You can continue to maintain (as you have in the past) that your personal outsider opinion about the O9A code is the correct one or "just as "valid" as that of those who do have insider knowledge about the O9A and who know far more about O9A esotericism than you, and that therefore - in your opinion - Kris was not a fraud.
2. You can finally admit that - since your knowledge and understanding of and about the O9A is quite limited - that your opinion is wrong and that those who, as has been proved, do have insider knowledge about the O9A and who know far more about O9A esotericism than you, have presented an accurate view concerning the O9A code, and that therefore Kris was indeed a fraud.
However, as was only to be expected you preferred to yet again choose the illogical option of evasion and obfuscation.
As I wrote before, people don't need your approval to follow the ONA path
Again you're just repeating what you've fallaciously claimed x number of times before for well over a year.
Being O9A means and always has meant - certain specific things, such as following the O9A code and which code is not and never was open to individual interpretation, despite what you, an outsider with your lack of knowledge, continue to claim.
I'm offering an alternative viewpoint
No you're just presenting - again and again and again - your personal opinion about the O9A founded as that opinion is on a lack of knowledge of O9A esotericism and O9A traditions, aural and otherwise.
all of this has been addressed by me and others here and on 600 Club. Some of your accusations are false... he's a clever guy... he's also hard-working and dedicated to the ONA, his models of the Star Game and Tarot cards are the evidence, blah blah vanity blurb blah blah
The bottom line is that he was never O9A, just a fraud. He didn't and doesn't have the necessary O9A character. He was just a muppet who was useful for a while and when his usefulness was deemed over, he was cast aside, and became a useful example, relevant to those select few who are or may be seriously interested in the O9A and in what being O9A really means.
It's interesting that in your vanity blurb - and in all your posts here and elsewhere - you fail to mention the salient established facts; facts which I mentioned here previously, and which bear repeating.
For if someone publicly - via correspondence, via printed books, in person, in internet posts, in interviews, and otherwise - for over seven years claims to be something they are not then they're a fraud, and which fraud over such a period of time is indicative of their character, their physis.
If that person then for months on end publicly boasts about their life (without providing any evidence) and indulges in rants and Hardly anyone takes this drama seriously. Most people dismiss it as a joke or pure propagandain personal vituperation, spreads malicious rumors (contrary to O9A etiquette) about O9A individuals (including in private correspondence to others), and continues to make excuses for themselves, then such things are also indicative of their character, their physis.
If that person boasts about their esoteric knowledge but then is publicly unable to answer certain esoteric questions, that is also indicative of their physis. Also indicative was the belief that the person was safe from exposure because he hid behind various nyms, a belief shattered when his real world identity was made known. The real person behind the nyms had no documented pathei mathos (sinister or numinous) to his name.

That you keep repeating that mantra - and have been repeating it for over a year - is amusing. No doubt some of the latter-day satanist crowd chant it as well, as do some of the occult illiterati. Even if every latter-day satanist - or hundreds of thousands of others - believed it, it wouldn't matter to "us". The saga, the dialectic, has served a temporal purpose.
For you seem to keep forgetting so many things: mythos, the sinisterly-numinous, anados, Labyrinthos Mythologicus and the aeonic perspective. Because: the 'real work' occurs elsewhere, over decades, individual to individual, esoterically, and - five decades hence - that mantra, and others like it, will be irrelevant, forgotten.
That's the great weakness of the masculous egoistic ipseity of modern satanism and the modern LHP, breeding as it does disparate and always transient mortal individuals with their varied opinions and ideas. Whereas an esoteric tradition - sinisterly-numinous, or otherwise - continues, revealed and taught and evolved as it is person to person, decade following decade.
So, good luck with the mantra.
