I didn't imply anything. I stated it quite directly. Indirectness is not my style. Neither does my repetoire include an excess of tact. I call'em as I sees'em.

I think that XXX's posts could quite reasonably lead to the conclusion that brees has stated. Could brees' statement have been better expressed? Probably. So could many of my own posts and I write daily as part of my making my living. I stated quite directly that I doubted XXX had used the exact words brees used. Perhaps it was because I have conversed frequently with brees on a wide variety of subjects both publicly and via PM that I believe that I understood what he was driving at. So I don't see the "lie" or the "dishonesty" and I don't see the problem. I understood quite clearly what he was saying which was expressed in way which was perhaps more direct than you might feel appropriate.
