well, which is it?
You ridicule him because he posted info that contradicted his position?
(although, why this is grounds for ridicule is beyond me. last complaint I read was that he wasn't "honest" because he didn't include in his sources information that contradicted his position)
Or you ridicule him because he edits stuff out that contradicts his position?
(although, why this is grounds for ridicule is beyond me. there is no requirement when putting forward one's argument to make the opposition's case for them)


Or are you going to ridicule him no matter what he does?
