I was accused of telling tales on a poster. Here is proof I wasn't

I was accused of lying when I said a particular poster had accused Dean of reinstituting the death penalty in Vermont and raising the sales tax in Vermont and that he hadn't apologized for those errors. Above is a link to a thread authored by him. In post 52 he clearly states Dean reinstituted the death penalty in Vermont and that Dean raised consumption taxes in Vermont. Consumption taxes and sales taxes are the exact same thing. Nowhere in that thread is anything remotely resembling an apology. I wasn't lying. I knew that. Now you all do.

1. That was easy

Given your reputation versus the poster in question's reputation....was there any doubt that you were right???

[dsc]

2. It took me forever to prove it though

I never figured out how to search DU2 and had to ask. It was a webtv thing.

8. How did you find it? I can never turn up anything when I use the

"search"...never.

9. If you wish to search the DU2 archives

you must go to the top of the forum and press search. Then you will have a search form on your left and some instructions on your right. At the top of the instructions is a link to search the archives. Hit that and then fill in the search from for what you want. It still took me several tries but I wasn't sure where what I wanted actually was. If you remember a title type it exactly and it will show up.

12. That lets me out ...I couldn't remember a title accurately....

but even with clues..anyway I just don't go "searching" anymore cause everytime I've come up empty..

But I'm glad you found what you were looking for! :-)

3. Let's see,

that's dsc 2,983, certain other poster 0.

How could Dean have "reinstituted the death penalty in Vermont"? Vermont doesn't have the death penalty. Duh!

5. And it requires the legislature to pass it first.

6. Oh him....

7. accused of lying ? - your reputation is solid, DSC! :-)

I would not worry if I were you about some silly accusations!

:toast:

:-)


Now with my lousy typing, and my thinking ahead and never bothering to type words that I "thought" - like "not" - words that totally change the meaning of the post, I need to watch myself - or lose whatever reputation I have here.

But I suggest your reputation is solid!

:-)

10. Um, dsc...

You are a million miles above this "other poster" in terms of credibility. You are Our Fearless Leader, when it comes to rebutting the lies. Many days on this forum, you are my hero. :)

Glad you sorted out the search thing, it can be annoying to KNOW you read something and not be able to find it.

This kind of thing is against the rules.

Do not talk negatively about an individual in a thread where they are not participating. Do not start a new discussion thread with the purpose of "calling out" another member or picking a fight with another member.
