   No, George.  It's evidence that you lie so damn much that everyone sees   
   you as a pathological liar.

   You don't know that transference is, George.

   Which is meaningless.  Every time I ask you why you lie so much is taken   
   as a lie by you, so you always respond with a "lying Michael."   
   Regardless of how you slice it, the end result is still the same.

   A refutation involves presenting evidence to the contrary, George.  Not   
   merely a denial of what someone has said.

   All you've managed to say is that you call me "Lying Michael" when you   
   claim that I have lied.  You then cite the previous statement I'd made   
   as the lie you are referring to.  You do not even so much as attempt to   
   disprove my so-called lie.   
      
   Labeling a statement as a lie is not refutation.  It is a variant of   
   IKYABWAI.

   What about this pronouncement which appears within the same quote: "and   
   an abused child has all the more reason to keep at it [and] learn how to   
   do it successfully."

   We were talking about a statement made by PJR, George.  I said that the   
   frequency with which he used it directly corresponded to the frequency   
   of your lies which prompted its use.  You claimed that it was a   
   preemptive tactic to somehow stop you from calling attention to any lie   
   that he supposedly made.   
      
   What has the make-believe "Bandar-Log" got to do with it?  Or the fact   
   that you and your Donkey are the only people here?

   You stated: "and an abused child has all the more reason to keep at it   
   [and] learn how to do it successfully."   
      
   >> You lie.   
   >> Not once.  Not twice.  But over and over again.

   OMFG!  You are misusing the word.  Stop it.   
      
   That is COUNTERTRANSFERENCE.   
      
   Transference is when one projects characteristics of a third party onto
