Oops, this got away from me and got sent before
I'd finished.

(continuing)
222399 ("Dead Snow" trailer)
221977 (photos of Iran election protests)
223645 (Dali/Disney short)
222626 (review of a feminist parody, by a feminist)
222667 (Lanza article on consciousness)
To recap: Barry's initial claim was that there were
*no* such posts. Then he changed it to "a few"; then
he demanded proof that I'd made *five*; and now he's
back to none.
"None," he swears, "**IS** true" (Barry's emphasis),
and he insists he's checked to make sure it's true.
Except that it obviously is not true.
Plus which, I made many more posts that didn't have
anything to do with "expressing pleasure at the
expense of someone she hates" ("hates" is Barry's term;
"has no respect for" is not equivalent to "hates").
Anyway, in addition to Barry's blatant lie (whether
about having checked, or about what he found), we also
have the mind-boggling hypocrisy of Barry's diatribe
at Raunchy and me for engaging in criticism of others,
when *by far* the majority of Barry's posts also focus
on criticism of others.
These aren't the only hypocrisies and dishonesties in
his post by any means, but readers will no doubt pick
up on the other instances.
