Wow...that reveals a lot (not that I didn't already know it about him). I can't believe even he would keep a lie going for months. Even if he did this to try and trap you...it took him several months to either admit his lie or to catch you on one thing (if he ever did). To lie for months to try and trick someone into saying something isn't an honest way to do business and personally I think you should be banned from FR for such shananigans. It's one thing to say something wrong...to lay the bait but if it's not taking up shortly you must correct the record.
Also Anti-R's refusal to admit he's wrong is proven in his post about when another Freeper corrects him...he's admits the other freeper is right, but he is too. Or he just downplays the signficance of his error.
I think I'm done wasting time with him. I'll just bookmark this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1724347/posts?page=148#148 and refer to it whenever he posts to me and say I don't deal with confirmed liars.
I didn't trick him. His earlier unsupported claim was about "Defending criminal Russian hackers." I asked him to back it up. As you'll notice, he went ranting about violations of US law with no support for his claim that their actions were criminal. Now given his prior history of trying to weasel out when caught making unsupported claims, I tried to make sure he stated it (with its obvious in-context meaning) in a way that left him no room to weasel. I got close, he finally said "I already said of course." to the question "Was it criminal?" He fed himself the rope, not my problem.
As you've read earlier in this thread and that one, others got it. That's because they've been following GE's antics for a very long time and understand the context. You haven't been following and therefore do not know the context, which is why you are supporting GE.

I admitted it wasn't nice, but then everyone else got it and were just watching the show. GE is the only victim, but a victim of his own ignorance. If he was what he claimed, he would have called me on it, and I would have admitted immediately. Alternately, he could have admitted he didn't know, and I would have told him everything. But if you watch the history you will just see a series of rants.

Notice the exclamation marks? If you look at my posting history, that's called sarcasm.
You want a very simple example of GE in action? In the "Does Clinton do Linux?" thread, GE makes a case against Linux as being American technology going to foreigners (but then claims Linux is foreign, but that's a different subject) because of the license, yet gives BSD, with an even more liberal license, a free pass on the issue. We tried to resolve this difference, and GE settled on that foreigners aren't taking BSD to use as their own, and that BSD supposedly doesn't scale to multiprocessors very well.
I showed that several foreign versions of BSD exist (here). Someone else linked to an article showing how BSD was scaling well on hundreds of processors. Now follow the thread and notice he never admits he was proven wrong, instead using misdirection and ad hominem attacks.
As a comic aside there, he berated us for mocking and denigrating the Westboro Baptist Church. He actually defended that cult -- can you believe it? But if you read further, he probably did that out of ignorance, too.
Hold it, I must admit I broke a promise. Long ago I promised not to call GE ignorant anymore, because ignorant simply means not knowing. Ignorance can be easily cured with facts, but there is no known cure for what ails GE. Yes, I admit I started using the word "ignorant" again.
I do have to wonder whether you are just GE posting under a different nick.
