I look forward to seeing those short stubby legs with Gimle boots dance.

I am using the slang of "front" and in bieatch be front'n.  I was starting with 
the disingenuous nature of the whole exercise which you play a significant role 
in.

I called him on it because I don't like my view misrepresented here.  What you 
are bringing on yourself is an insight into your integrity having called me a 
liar there there was misrepresentation.  The fact that challenging someone on 
their knowledge of their own POV is a weird thing to do is very odd.  But you 
brought it on yourself.

No, it is both and this attempt to split hairs isn't gunna save your ass.  I 
gave plenty of examples of both for any person with integrity.

I hear troll music in the background, what IS that instrument.  Oh it is a 
single string violin made our of an infants forearm bones.  Makes a creepy 
sound, you actually dance to that?

I didn't have "ethical obligations' for shit in this little ruse.  And it got 
me exactly where I expected, you in denial mode.

Now claim and demonstrate specifically, line by line.

Is this a claim to be too idiotic to see the misrepresentations?

I did because there was.  You thought I wouldn't take the challenge and having 
zero integrity, knew you could just deny it if I did prove my case.

My claim was misrepresenting.  This parsing of how is Troll queen 101.

Sorry but I proved where he misrepresented my POV line by line so I don't care 
how many people thought whatever about it.  It misrepresented my POV in content 
and tone.  It was a lazy send-up. Robin can parody me well because he doesn't 
pay enough attention to my points to understand me.  He is too busy trying to 
shoot the messenger as you often do.  As you did here when you called me a liar 
for defending myself against misrepresentation.

Right slip in a little preemptive sucker punch when you can, you are being 
exposed as a person who even when proven wrong, cannot apologize for calling 
them a liar.  You can't do it.

That one string fiddle really can play can't it.  Don't you trolls have any 
other instrument though, it is kind of screetchy.

Nice work Judy.  Another integrity test failed.
