“Oh. You again. Still trying to troll, eh?”

Trolling? LOL. Just responding to your 5:34 AM post to me.

“BTW, I don’t always read every article and paper linked in an article”

Then don’t make false posts about the papers you don’t read.

Do you know what a troll is (you, for example)? They're these cowards who run around on anonymous forums trying to stir up trouble while they hide like little girls behind their keyboards.

You started off with this:

If you had bothered to look you would see their first listed reference making them well aware.
And then went on to establish that these scientist were well aware of the fact that animals use tools.

That was never my point, was it? I was saying that, based on the article posted (not all its links), they were apparently not aware of their bias.

You created a straw man so you could then complain.

Dishonest. But then trolls don't have a problem with dishonesty.

And you were 100% wrong. You posted falsely without bothering tonread their paper.

Next time, don’t let your bias influence your posts.

Still trolling?

I try to always admit when I'm wrong. If I made a comment based on an article that contained erroneous information, then I certainly was wrong.

BTW, Study Finds (studyfinds.org) is generally considered a reasonably reliable source

The problem wasn’t with the article.

It was your letting your bias falsely interpret the article.

You are a meddlesome mother-in-law. Just can't stop finding fault.

What was my bias that caused a false interpretation of an article entitled?

"Killer Whales Are Making Tools To Scratch Each Other’s Backs, And It’s Blowing Scientists’ Minds"
You can't get your stories straight.

First, you blamed me for misrepresenting the scientists. Then you blame me for being suckered by the journalists who wrote the story. And now you blame me for having some "bias" that caused me to falsely interpret the article. Which is it MIL? Or is it all the above plus other things your OCD is busily trying to dream up.

Not what I said. I said you were jerked because you allowed your bias to influence your interpretation of the article.

You are still trolling because you are still trying to stir up trouble. Unfortunately, despite all your obsessive trolling, it doesn't bother me because I enjoy it.;-)

That said, I am late for lunch. Gotta run.

You are the one that posted to me at 5:34 AM and you call me obsessive!

You're lying again.

You just said:

That's not what you said. Here's what you said,

And I said you misrepresented the scientists position without reading the scientists’ paper.

You were jerked bybsome journalist.

There's no mention of bias in that comment of yours.

Good Lord. At least get it straight. It's fun to play, but you need to be honest.

I didn't post to you last night because I turned off my computer and stopped posting. I get up at 4:00 AM. So 5:34 isn't early for me.

You're a mess, MIL, a real mess. I took a look at the thread and noticed that were trying to pick a fight another Freeper while concurrently trolling me.

And I thought I was your only target. LOL, I don't feel special anymore.;-)
