No, actually he's gone way over it into actually lying (and so have you, if you read the posts in question). In fact, Barry was already heavily into intellectual dishonesty in his first reply to me. The height of the fences, as Barry knows (and as you know if you read my posts) is only one consideration. That they have openings in front but no gates to close them off is another; but the most important is that they're no different (except for being *more* open) than the fences most non-SUV houses have around them. In other words, Barry's rant about how TMers close themselves off from the rest of the world via the fences around their houses (complete with quote from "Masque of the Red Death") was just a stupid blooper that Barry made because he never looked at the photos of the houses in question. It was intellectually dishonest for him to pretend that his comments still had merit-- and to attack me for pointing out that they didn't. And it's intellectually dishonest for you to attempt to defend him (and attack me).
Unless of course he was talking of fences as symbols....
