   repeating the same lie many times has a similar "hardening" effect, innit?

   well, it was in ALT.ASTROLOGY and even the moderated groups.  this IS the   
   group to harangue edmo   
   over a 15 year old tiff and not ever come off like a psycho-retard who can't   
   move on with their   
   lives, correct?

   your handle?  i have no proof that this is you and that is you?  are you daft?   
      
   so i repeat with inflection:   
      
   YES: as in, YOU CAN'T PROVE you were there when it happened.
