With cut and paste you can write "you" a thousand times with little effort. But it doesn't change a thing.

You still haven't named a single fact that I twisted.

Maybe the reason you can't is because the only fact I stated in the posts at issue was correcting the attribution of the quote from Rambi to E. Which I didn't twist because it was completely true. If I don't state facts, I can't twist them.

If you want to keep the respect of posters here, I think that when you make accusations about people and are asked to justify them, you have an obligation to do so. Every time you have challenged me here I have presented my basis for what I posted. You might not have agreed with my conclusions, but I didn't try to evade them. (You, on the other hand, did exactly that and asked me to stop keeping asking you the question you didn't want to answer. So I respected your request and stopped.)

Maybe you don't think you need to justify your accusations. Maybe you think it's honest posting to make accusations about people and not back them up when called on them. A month ago, finding that you would take such a position as that would have surprised me. Now, sadly, it wouldn't. Which is very much too bad.

I still don't want to believe that jla was right about your honest and integrity and I was wrong. But I'm losing the battle of trying to defend your integrity.
