“Geez, anal aren’t we?”
When people play breezily loose with the truth, yeah, something like that.
“You were nice to me, bottom line, and I thought we were discussing.”
I'm still being nice, even if I'm also pointing out that you said something that wasn't quite true, and then didn't seem to have any desire to check whether it was true or not.
“I know EXACTLY what the poster, humblegunner said and I agree with him.”
You agree with this?
“My public schooled kids shrug off your insult and suggest
that perhaps your kids are weenies who get beat up and can't cut it in the real world.”
That was in response to what I said here:
“But we also know that on average, homeschooled children do better than public school students,...”
I replied:
“I didn't say anything about your public-schooled children.”
Humblegunner then told this lie about me:
“Sure you did, just today. Remember?
“’homeschooled children do better than public school students’”
What I actually said was:
“But we also know that on average, homeschooled children do better than public school students,”
Why is this a lie? Because in taking it out of context, it changed if from a comparison of results of one group to the results of a second group to a universal generalization.
So, you agree with what humblegunner said?

I’m going to bed now but will answer your post somewhat. We can talk more tomorrow or the next time I’m online. I don’t mean to be abrupt but it’s late here and I’m heading to bed.
I think you have an issue with humblegunner, so I included him in the post (pinged him? I just learned if one is talking about another poster it’s considered good manners to include him/her in the post. All these internet rules). You really should discuss it with him. IMO. Are you doing this with me cos I’m easy and he isn’t?
I’m taking it as you dissing me from your post and I could be wrong, it’s possible and likely, yet I don’t think so here.
On average...love those words. Takes me back to Stat 200. As a not so smart math student, it is the one thing I learned in Stat 200. I’m starting to think I know more about statistics than the average person, and some here. On average is always a qualifier to a bunch of bs or manipulation of the numbers, not taking correlating data into account, etc.
At this point, I do still agree with most of what humblegunner posted. I don’t see that changing.
