I guess that I created a monster when I steered you to the Thesaurus. You just can't help yourself: Main Entry: palter Part of Speech: verb Definition: lie www.thesaurus.com/browse/palterFret not, I won't return the favor. I never went to a Thesaurus, I went to google... and searched "half-truth".... there were PLENTY of examples comparable to what you did, and often do...

More or less... yes. Be sure to add this to your catalogue. In another month or so, I'm sure you'll be saying "You can't point to ONE example where I ....." Sorry to disappoint, but I still won't diminish myself by engaging in name-calling, labeling, etc. Pray tell., what name have I called you? I don't know it.

All you managed to do was to come up with yet another way of accusing me of being a liar. You claim that there are plenty of examples of my lying, but you have yet to cite one. I didn't tell, and haven't told a half truth. If the truth makes you uncomfortable, that is your problem. It is 100% true that Trump said that NATO is obsolete.

Hero has always been quick to defend you, whether you need his support or not. A knee jerk reaction? He is also invariably quick to agree with you, even when he doesn't have the faintest clue what you're talking about. I can't understand why you didn't thank me. I said, in as many words, that you are perfectly capable of standing on your own two hind legs. I disagree if Hero believes that you need for the cavalry to come to your rescue every time. You clearly don't know Hero very well. Typing "Good Grief" was in no way defending me. It sounded to me more as disbelief in your reply to me, which...I concur, was pretty odd. It left me thinking EXACTLY what Hero typed. In the immortal words of our beloved Sgt. Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis". www.youtube.com/watch?v=So9iCqdfUF4I can't seem to work around his lack of understanding for the nuances of language. Not sure why.

REUTERS - "U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that NATO is not obsolete, but said NATO members still need to pay their fair share for the European security umbrella."
In context, he was likely referring to adapting to assymetrical warfare and fighting against terrorists like ISIS, and not the typical world war scenarios.
"Likely referring to..."? You are reading Trump's mind? Nope just "drawing my own conclusion", as you have noted previously . It seemed appropriate given the color of his other remarks .

A distinction without a difference.

I admit my failure in dealing with it. Then, I can help you. Anytime I seemingly fail to pick up on a linguistic nuance that you were attempting to convey, simply cite your exact words, then your interpretation of the nuanced meaning, and finally why you feel that I should have been able to read your mind. Then, possibly, we could have an adult conversation. Another option: why not simply say exactly what you mean in clear English in the first place?

The earth is flat. People once stated this. Brilliant. I assume that there is a point hidden in there somewhere. FYI: the Chinese believed in the flat earth theory two millennia post-Socrates.

I have concluded that it's not worth the effort. You might as well bark at the moon, or talk to a wall.

Examples of your linguistic nuances that I have failed to understand, Bevo?
I get the impression that you and Hero are just stringing words together to form utterly meaningless sentences.
