Look at the thread he linked to. There you can see another example of me trapping him, leading him long enough to make himself look bad. I finished that trap within the thread, citing applicable federal law to counter his claim once I was finally able to nail him down to a definitive statement (that was the hard part). I admit I did let the nmap one run quite a bit longer though. So you see a pattern of behavior, not of lies, but of trapping GE in his own ignorance.
Based on the fact that I've seen GE admit when he was mistaken in the past
We who have played with him for a while have seen it only once, after several of us forced him, and then it was only a politician-style semi-retraction.
When caught he admits to the lie but claims it was to trick you.
At the very worst it would have been my ignorance in seeing the name Fyodor and automatically believing he was Russian. People do make mistakes. However, I was the one who gave up the truth on my own volition, so you couldn't exactly call it a lie in the end. It was simply stringing along someone, playing to his paranoia. I admit it wasn't very nice, but by then I was fed up by GE's lies, distortions and libel.
So are you lying now or were you lying then?
BTW: You don't win an argument with a liar by lying. And I haven't seen where GE has deliberately lied as you have admitted to doing. Sure people make mistakes or are misinformed. Like the many of people that read your thread who have followed you and believe your posts to be true. By your lying how much of that lie has influenced others to pass misinformation? Lying never wins and is only used as a tactic by losers.
As I said it's one thing to post false info and then quickly fix it once the bait is either taken or not. But to let it go for months is malicious and shows at best your poor character and at worst your Bill Clinton nature to lie to cover your arse.
