John Run, I am sorry this poster is being so disrespectful towards you. I think anyone with discernment can see you are someone who actually has knowledge in this area and does not have an agenda. Certainly those of us who have been around know this.
The ignorant will always call the informed liars when the facts don't suit their narrative, regardless of all evidence to the contrary. They are also the most shrill and aggressive, sadly. "The worst are full of passionate intensity" as Yeats said. He preceded that with "The best lack all conviction" because, in part, of how often those in the right let the worst dominate.
While I think it's fine to leave this "debate" because you've proven your point, I hope you do not let this poster drive you away from the Ledge entirely.
