Which was obviously the case, though it is a non-answer answer.
I just re-read roachboy's post and my reply to it and needless to say, I find your conclussion erroneous.

He didn't address anything that I said, but instead chose to question if I would attack lies made by right leaning individuals.

This is the sine qua non of attack by diversion, which I pointed out.

As to YOUR post, you also chose not to address the issues, but instead chose to reformulate the diversionary attack by the implication that if I didn't attack the right leaning with the same frequency, that my current point in this thread must be worthless and worthy of ignoral.

In other words, the same diversionary tactic in a slightly different flavor.

But in any case, I DID address his post (which you ignore) by saying that yes, I will point them out and have done so in this very forum.
