> There’s a considerable difference between accusations of dishonesty, which is clearly subjective (and which prior to this thread you never so much as tried to cite when I challenged you), and lying which is not. Plus “dishonest” is often a synonym for lie, so it is my opinion that in calling me dishonest you are trying to imply to others that I’m lying. Which of course is dishonest in itself.

The fact that you’re stupid as well as dishonest is your problem, not mine.

I’m not interested in hashing this out with you again. I’ve spent too many hours and too many threads in the past attempting to debate with you as if you were actually interested in honest and forthright discussion. But you are not, so i made clear some time back that i’m not going to engage with you in substantive debate. I’m going to continue that policy.
