You SAID (and I will find it) that I was very honest. I did NOT say I was ALWAYS honest- only that I was MORE honest than most. That would mean I AM sometimes dishonest. Everyone is- but JLA and Neocon and, I am sorry to say, even you, are worse than I am.

>Don't worry baby- E-bill tried to save you. OK, this is an example. Rather than admit that others (besides JLA) believe you are sometimes dishonest, you invent a rationale for my opinion (that I'm trying to "save" JLA). That is a disingenuous handling of my comment. As I said, your hatred of being wrong is stronger than your affection for honesty.< I found the post. But I can't figure out if "pretty honest" means more honest than most, or about the same as most. I had thought it meant more honest than average (or most)- but of course you are the only one who can really say what you meant. This was all I said- to begin with: >No- I know what that one means since I am much more honest than most people. Which is not necessarily a good thing. It is frequently kinder to lie.< But JLA had to say I was frequently dishonest: >I've not found that to be the case. Your posts are, putting it kindly, disingenuous to the point of dishonesty and frequently. JLA NOTE- JLA did NOT say sometimes, he said frequently- I don't agree with that. And the only error I may have made was thinking no one else found my posts "frequently dishonest" >See! Isn't that odd! No one else finds them that. So either everyone else is wrong or....< So in conclusion if Neo finds me frequently dishonest (I really can't tell where you stand) then there is one other person. But as so often happens the argument did not stay on point- so I can't tell what anyone really meant except for JLA.

While you may not agree, I know what I've seen. And I would agree with the above. I am certainly not above the disingenuous- but when asked I don't run away, shouting insults over my shoulder. I will tell you what I perceive the truth to be if you ask- that's the best I think anyone can do- since we all only have our own versions of the truth. Can we argue about JLA's character now? Or something else?
