- Someone who shares in this public forum just like you do. Of course,
- there are some differences. I'm not in charge of sleuthing out potential
- liars the way you are, and I don't have responsibility for attacking other
- posters on the net who share their opinions. I'm willing to accept your
- claim that police have been smeared here on the net rather than call you
- a liar for not having submitted proof. Perhaps in your position of judge,
- you will explain how my observation would have been any more credible had
- I lengthed the post with information irrelevent to the point (namely, that
- police have no obligation to assist us.) Or I suppose then you would call
- me a liar for having made up the extra information? I'm sorry that the
- freedom to share ideas, opinions and information also accommodates innuendo
- from people like you.
