- The fact that there was one sentence in the quote that may have been
- written by me does not invalidate my point that carrying attributions
- carte blanche from other posts is a mistake: The whole set of
- statements was attributed to me. The mistake I alluded to still
- stands as does the accuracy of the admonition about lifting quotes
- with attributions from other posts. I'm sorry about the small error;
- I hardly think it qualifies me as a liar since (1) the claims I made
- based on the slightly erroneous characterization are all still true
- and (2) it is an honest error that I freely admit.
-
- Your confusion about what constitutes a lie is further demonstrated by
- your ridiculous attempts to draw an analogy between my error and
- Chaney's use of a false account to make incendiary posts.
