Well, it's a good thing you aren't drawing any conclusions from this, Sal. You didn't actually *read the posts*, did you? Because if you had, you'd have discovered that by *far* the majority of my posts with the word "liar" in them, for example, are either quoting someone else using the word or defending somebody else from the charge of being a liar. This is based, admittedly, on a relatively small sample, the first 20 of the 137 Sal cites. Of that first 20 (15% of 137), in exactly 3 did I actually call someone a liar (15% of 20). Extrapolating, that would mean I've left 21 posts in which I called someone a liar. I'd be willing to bet that of this 21, the vast majority would be accusations directed at Barry (and for good reason). If anyone, God forbid, wants to check out the rest of my posts and those of others on Sal's list, I strongly suspect they'll find a similar breakdown. Nice try, Sal, but no cigar. > These are culled from all the posts made by these posters since they > started posting here: Judy, Curtis, Barry, and, just for balance, > yours truly. :) > > # of posts with the word 'liar' in them: > > Judy: 137 > Curtis: 19 > Barry: 47 > Sal: 8 > > # of posts with the word 'lying' in them: > > Judy: 188 > Curtis: 32 > Barry: 84 > Sal: 9 > > # of posts with the word 'hypocrite' in them: > > Judy: 40 > Curtis: 9 > Barry: 19 > Sal: 6 > > # of posts with the word 'hypocrisy' in them: > > Judy: 132 > Curtis: 10 > Barry: 29 > Sal: 8 >
