I do not accept your apology. It would have been fine if you just stopped after the first sentence. But trying to make this about my "sensitivities" you turned into a non apology. Your insult was not about me. It was about you and your behavior. you are the one acting like a child and then tell me to "show a little maturity." Ironic, isn't it?

If you can do it without childish insult, please tell specifically what you think I was wrong about.

I am indifferent to whether or not you respect me.

Looks like we will continue to have a disagreement on this if you are reading it as an insult. You are evidently very sensitive to genderization terminology otherwise I would think you would not be making an issue of it. There was no insult intended. My insults are not that benign. Now, to the original point: maybe it will clear things up if you simply ignore the 'man-up' reference and read the remainder of the sentence as a suggestion to admit that your lies about Trump's alleged lies are lies themselves. It is a documented fact that many, perhaps even most, of Trump's supposed lies are actually misstatements that don't come close to being a lie. Even the media acknowledges this. You are twisting the facts to suit your anti-Trump agenda.

It is hard to understand why you would use this as a defense of Trump/attack on WaPo. The writer of this blog is clearly as disgusted with Trump as am I. He does have his own (largely unsubstantiated) spin on context, which is fair, but he never, as far as I can tell, proves that WaPo is wrong on its assessment of the essential untruthfulness of Trump. In fact, his added context is often worse for Trump that the WaPo original assessment.

For example, the opening words of the blog:"The writers at the Washington Post are correct that lies spray out of Trump’s face with the force of an untethered fire hose. They’re also correct that almost every statement by Trump is either false or misleading."

That is not a compelling opening argument for your case.

What WaPo gets wrong, in my view, is to present all of the false/misleading statements one one list, implying that they are all of equal importance. Which they are not, of course. Many, if not most, are of so little consequence (size of the inaugural crowd, for example) that they merit no consideration whatsoever other than a laughable attempt by Trump to message his wounded ego--especially when it involves any contrast with Obama.

Yet on the same list are Hitlerian whoppers like doctors delivering live babies, caring or them, wrapping them up and presenting them to the mother so they could decide whether or not to execute the child. A pernicious, vile lie like this has consequences far beyond whether or not Trump's inaugural crowd was the largest in history.

What I had in mind is to pick an item from theWaPo list and discuss whether or not Trump was actually telling the truth. Your linked blog does not even come close.

I am not overly sensitive as you continue to insinuate. I don't respond to school yard insults.

You have called me a liar. Point to one specific instance.

In fact, it seems to me that you do not even understand the origin of this petty dispute. You accused me of mischaracterization and I have already pointed out to you that we were discussing Wapos list, not mine. Maybe you should try to understand the conversation before weigh in with your insults and baseless accusations.

If it makes you feel smart and mature to call ne a liar, them point to something I actually said, in context.
