11. Your ridiculous attempt at character assassination contradicts itself

Mon Jun 17, 2013, 11:24 AM

Jun 2013

Of all your posts on the topic so far, this could be the dumbest yet (we're not finished, of course ...).

If "he knew the information being released did not reveal anything earth shattering and did not rise to the level of wrongdoing" (and that's a big 'if'), then attracting attention is not 'cowardly', is it? It would be not risking anything - but, instead, getting himself unnecessary trouble and condemnation, wouldn't it?

Can 't you even keep your smears consistent inside each post?
