And Sam is caught **yet again** in a blatant lie.

> The part where you said: If “in this case” was not referring to the Onion article, then what are you claiming it was referring to? You think you are a martyr for a cause, but you are a rebel without a clue. Just admit you made a mistake, you’ll feel better afterwards.

@Sam_Stone how do you explain this? You claim…

> Somehow, people took from this that I didn’t know the Onion was satire. But that wasn’t the point. All I was saying was that it’s pretty common to get fired if you diss your company in public while making it clear your are associated with the company, It happens all the time. It wasn’t a direct rebuttal to obvious satire, just something I wanted to point out.

Yet you clearly said that you were referring to **a specific case** where employees were insulting their employer in public.

You are not being bullied by people who disagree with your viewpoint. You are a serial liar on these boards and people are fed up with it. You not only have trouble with facts, you have trouble with honesty. So yeah, people on a forum devoted to fighting ignorance are going to _shred you_ after your pattern of dishonesty.

This is a bad place for you. You should consider an online venue where fact-checking isn’t the standard, where people don’t pay attention to you, in general where people aren’t as bright. There are plenty of subreddits where I’m sure you’ll get away with it. You won’t here.
