...or rumb dednecks...rum deadnecks?...*snicker*
A lie is a lie, but there is a difference in 'he lies' and 'what he says is not true'. If Bill believes what he is saying or insinuating is true, it is not a lie to Bill. If I believe what he is saying is false, then to me, it is not true. For me to call it a lie or say Bill lies is to assume that Bill knows what he is saying is not true. To know that, I would have to be able to read Bill's mind. He's human and has probably fudged on the truth before...but then, that's most likely true of all of us.
As far as I know, the only name he's ever had is Bill. We can guess sometimes when someone is very similar, but we don't know unless we have access to Admin controls for TVT...might not be able to prove it even with that, if anybody actually cared enough to try.
For instance, semi, you have quite a bit in common with a member who used to post here under the name Taciturn, but I certainly did not 'know' you were her. When it came up one time, I am 99% sure that you said that was not the case & that was that. I know you as semi, beginning with you (semi) joining TVT/TDF to now.
I let the whole whose who thing go...decided my response to a post is going to be the same regardless of who I am talking to...so it makes no difference what user name that person is currently using. JMHO
