Well, that’s a hell of a lot of useless verbiage.

The fact remains that you attacked a source without bothering to confirm its factual reporting. That’s a sleazy ploy you’d do well to avoid in the future.

Nope, never said that. I pointed out that a substantial number of Charles’ erstwhile subjects have problems with his behavior, while his defenders try to gloss over his actions using the _argumentum ad populum_ fallacy.

Good.

It’s high time that you stopped hogging Martin’s time in the spotlight, seeing that your own postings have already gotten you [the attention](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-max-s/959074) you seem to crave.
