- I don't know about Mezias, but I do know that Garvin, if not exactly a liar
- (I'd need 1,000,000 lines of documentation for that because otherwise
- Keegan will repeatedly ask me to apologize to Garvin for calling her a liar)
- has certainly shown that "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
- neighbor" is not one of the ten commandments of her private religion, no
- matter what religion she professes to follow in public.
-
- On the other hand, her reaction to my question, "What's a rewsreader"
- [in response to a passage where she used that spelling] indicates that
- "Thou shalt not be laughed at" is one of the ten commandments of her
- religion.
-
- Also on the other hand, her repeated references to Holtsinger as "the
- Reverend" seems to indicate that she believes he includes "Thou shalt
- not bear false witness against thy neighbor" in his decalogue.
-
- For the record, I have yet to see a documented case of "the Reverend"
- violating this commandment.

-
- Here is the explanation of the title thread. I want to know whether
- Susan Garvin, who very often sets follow-ups to misc.test AND NOTHING
- ELSE, is the pot calling the kettle black, or whether it is the pot
- calling the cow's milk black, or is it the pot calling the light brown
- chocolate milk black?
-
- In other words, does Doug also often set follow-ups to misc.test AND NOTHING
- ELSE, or does he never set them to misc. test, or does he sometimes set
- them to misc.test in addition to the other news groups?
-
- With Garvin throwing so much shit against the wall, some of it is bound
- to stick, as here, unless someone like me asks questions like the above,
- and gets answers.
-
- > (Maybe he'll

-
- I have yet to see anyone prove Doug a liar, or even a breaker of the
- traditional commandment above.
-
- >What he won't do is this - admit that he's lying or start telling

-
- Of course, when you are already telling the truth, you are incapable
- of STARTING to tell the truth.
