Well, how very generous of you. I repeat, I was not flaming or name
calling anyone. Sandy and I had a civil conversation. Period. If
there was any name calling in that thread, except jerk, it was Willi,
not me. And Tim is a fool and a jerk.
OK...now re-read your own reply, above. About the only thing that
stands out to me as being even arguably or remotely correct is that
Willi said in the thread, but not in the reply in question, that it
seemed you were turning into a sour old man. He didn't even say that
_were_ one, only that it seemed you were turning into one. Moreover,
that would not be relevant. And I'd offer that in the case instant
before the court of public opinion, a sound strategy would not include
an attempt to except your use of "jerk," but hell, with juries these
days, hey, it might work...good luck, you'll need it.
Sandy's opinion of the "conversation" would be his, and since there is
no information as of yet as to what that may be, there's no way to
comment on that as being correct (or incorrect).
IAC, Willi made no comment in the reply in question about any
conversation. Moreover, he made no comment on how the thing got started
or progressed. As such, could not have "lied" (or have been right or
wrong) about things he didn't even mention. He only made comments about
the thread being "flamed," how it was "finalized," and by whom. Since
it may be debated as to whether "flamed" and "finalized" are accurate
descriptives, the comments themselves aren't subject to a true/false
test. The only "fact" he submitted, and thereby subject to a true/false
test, was that you had "name-called." Let's look at the evidence. You
called Tim "Jerk." and admit that you called Tim "Jerk." I'd say either
hope that your appellate counsel is better than your trial counsel or
the jury of your peers...on second thought, maybe you ought to just jump
bail now - I'd say it's your only shot at freedom...
HTH,
