[contradicts me]
Incorrect. It is never correct to contradict me. Don't do it again.
he may nevertheless have chosen a different option on this occasion.
No, he cannot. A person with any brains that carefully considers their
possible courses of action does not then embark on a futile one when
doing nothing would be a more efficient means of achieving the same
results.

You're a liar.
Irrelevant, belief is not a synonym of trust.
Liar. Hostility indicates malicious motives. Malicious motives clearly
indicate untrustworthiness.
If someone attacks then obviously they are an opponent, not an ally.
If an opponent attempts to influence my behavior, it may be presumed
that this manipulation if effective will serve their ends, and that
what's good for them and involves me is going to be bad for me.
Therefore resisting their influence is essential. Anything they say is
therefore suspect. It may be a simple fabrication. It may be a half-
truth, or even technically true but not the whole truth, but intended
to mislead or deceive nonetheless; they may correctly indicate the
shorter route but fail to indicate that that route happens to be
largely straight up or down, or similarly provide partial information
that, while accurate, would nonetheless lead to the wrong action being
performed if taken at face value. Simply put their motives can not be
trusted.
Someone you neither trust nor believe may yet say something useful
of which the truth can be tested.
See above. Even if they say something that's true that something will
still have been selected with a bad motive in mind, and acting on it
would be foolish. It cannot be assumed not to be an incomplete and
ultimately misleading piece of information.
Words posted here cannot destroy you.
False. I've explained time and again that an online smear campaign
against a person can have serious negative repercussions for them. But
of course you know that or you wouldn't bother trying, would you? You
merely wish to lure me into a false sense of security so that enough
of your nasty claims end up entering the record unopposed by any
dissenting claims that people will be influenced and biased against me
from then on, which would damage me in a variety of ways. Needless to
say I will not fall for such a stupid trick. Your lies will not
convince me of anything but your untrustworthiness.
For example, Sherm's continued participation here is proof of the
futility of your words wishing to have him destroyed.
But I don't wish to have him destroyed. I wish he'd shut up about me
and likewise that the rest of you would start minding your own fucking
beeswax and getting on with your lives. Failing that, I wish you'd be
forcibly shut up, perhaps by your ISPs getting fed up of your ongoing
blatant misconduct. If you live happily ever after but without net
access or simply choosing to leave me alone I won't give a shit. Do
so; I won't lift a finger to stop you. That's far more courtesy than
you have accorded me.
I really doubt that "they" desire to destroy you.
Their behavior speaks volumes; that it diametrically opposes some of
the things that come out of their mouths only proves them all liars,
just like you.

None of the nasty things that you have said or implied about me are at
all true.
My current opinion of you was formed overwhelmingly from the words you
wrote.
Obviously not, liar. If they had been, you would be defending me,
since it is clear to any objective observer that I'm the beleaguered
but valiant defender who was unfairly attacked ... mugged at
knifepoint in effect when he'd been harmlessly going about minding his
own business moments before. You on the other hand are a bunch of
malicious twerps with too much time on your hands and too little
conscience or concern for other people; malicious vandals who see
destroying other peoples' reputations and dragging their names through
the mud as a pastime rather than as a vicious crime without any
possible justification the way a normal person would.
Actions speak louder than words. What do I do? I defend myself, with
reason where reasonable and with blunt denials of the lies told about
me where necessary. I don't post anything nasty-sounding or off-topic
except to respond in kind after being attacked. What do you do? You
attack without provocation. You continue attacking, even when you have
the option to withdraw without negative consequences for doing so.
Nothing I've written requires you to respond to defend yourselves; you
could just ignore me and it wouldn't be at your peril. You could even
stop posting attack posts while reserving the right to post "None of
the nasty things you said or implied about me are at all true" in
response to anything I said that might be construed as denigrating one
of you, but I don't see any of you choosing such a pattern of
behavior. Because you are not harmless people minding their own
business, nor are you valiant defenders of anything; no, you are
attackers, vicious ones that seek to cause pain and destruction for
your own personal gain in some fashion or another. No, any sensible
observer will clearly have little sympathy for any of you, and plenty
for me.
Your opinions were clearly influenced very strongly by the bullshit
you read about me, *despite* my efforts to correct those
misapprehensions. I can only imagine how many more of you there'd be
without my efforts. That is, unless you're just Arnehole or one of the
others creating sock puppets to artificially amplify his voice and
therefore his nasty, unwanted influence.

If you truly are not one, you'll know that merely typing that
phrase is insufficient to demonstrate so.
Likewise, I know that your merely typing an insulting phrase is
insufficient to demonstrate otherwise. Since both of us make bald
assertions with exactly the same (in this case zero) amount of
supporting evidence the influence should cancel out. Which is, of
course, what so frustrates you lot -- every bit of hard work you do
trying to destroy me is so easily neutralized. It's like digging a
hole whose sides keep falling in and refilling it as fast as you can
shovel. You shovel faster and faster (now forty fucking attack posts a
day or so!) and the sides just fall in faster too. You get nowhere.
What you fail to realize with your tiny brains is that you need to
give up instead of continuing to ... what is the proverb? Beat your
head against the wall?
[ponderously pontificates on the "true weight of words"]
Here's a tip: leave the attempts at showing sophistication and complex
reasoning to people who have three-digit IQs and stick to basket-
weaving and other such inconsequential pursuits. And while you're at
it, please tell one of the guys in the white coats that give you your
daily happy pills that you really don't think giving you patients
unmonitored internet access was such a hot idea.
