Truth? That's an odd choice of words. Usually only zealots and politicians speak of "truth". In this case, can you prove your "truth"? And I mean in an empirical sense. Or are you just using your stereotype to denigrate a bunch of people?
So you're implying that I am lying about my _own_ observation?
Last I looked IRC was hardly a representative sample of a community. Perhaps the group of people who use IRC are, in general, predisposed to be a certain way that's different than the general population?
And did I say it was representative of the entire community? I SPECIFICALLY said I was commenting about those that I observed.
Perhaps you might concede that your demographic isn't representative?
I never said that in the first place. What are you talking about?
