This is what I wrote, “They didn’t successfully scrub Obama’s sister from saying Obama was born in Queen’s Hospital in 2004, but if you want to pretend this came from the educated guess of some phantom college student, dream on,” followed by “It was soooooo sloppy that only one correction was made and that was to an item Obama’s own sister doesn’t seem to know.” The newsletter that printed Obama being born in Queen’s Hospital was from a story in which Maya Soetoro was interviewed and quoted serveral times ... and she worked at the school that produced the newsletter. If it was wrong, she could have had it corrected. There’s no evidence she did so, so I still stand by what I wrote. I haven’t moved any goalposts. Loren claimed to debunk this point and failed.

Yes, that's what you wrote. You'll notice in that sentence of yours you are making the rather strong claim that she did in fact say it.

Now that you have utterly failed to prove she said it, you have retreated to saying that it can't be ruled out she said it.

Sorry, my friend, but that is moving the goalposts.

so I still stand by what I wrote.

No you don't. You are no longer making the same strong claim you were making before.

There is no shame in retreating. However, there is great shame in retreating while pretending not to retreat. And that, my friend, is what you are doing.
