That's an issue with your reading comprehension, not the message.

When someone catches you in a lie, pointing it out is "bickering",
apparently. That's another lie.
This "bickering" characterisation is the same lie you used to try to avoid
responsibility when you were caught out posting off-topic.debate stuff in
lego.direct. Lots of people pointed it out but you focused on ME because
that way you could dodge the fact that you were wrong.
> No big deal. As Pete said, lets not get worked up about this.
Funny, you're the one responding with more slime after I said "ignore
Scott's tries to cause trouble". Seems you're worked up already. After all
you want to "take apart" my "squirming".
Go ahead. Take it apart. Keep it out of .trains though, please, so maybe
Michael can get his question answered.
