Is Lance Turbo a she? I didn’t know that. Anyways, I don’t think she was being _misleading_ about anything. I think she was being _satirical_ about the OP:

I had just finished a reply to you about your definition of “lie”, which apparently includes satire:

and I was making a bit of a personal joke. It was probably only humorous to me, and I’d rather it not become a major distraction to the thread topic. It probably would have been better if I’d left it out of this thread. Please consider it retracted.
