That is a lie; what is more, you know that it is a lie.

In your very first messages--and in the vast majority of your continued messages,
when you flamed Mensa and Mensans.  You continued lies, your continued hiding
behind numerous false identities, and your continued flames all invited flames
in return.

The didn't hide their names, and they didn't lie about it.  You, on the other
hand, are a coward and a liar.

Well, for one thing, perhaps I'd like to send you email.  For another, if you
can't even take the responsibility for your own messages, that invalidates
their content.

If I had written that about someone who had not attacked me or said anything
insulting to anyone, you would have a point; however, since I written that
about someone who has attacked me--and every other Mensan--you don't have
any point at all.

I am troubled by sanctimpnious, hyprocrical liars such as yourself.
