I just read the entire thread. And i can see why you would not want anyone to read it.

Either you guys felt dumb for getting owned, and your only comeback to the facts you don't like is to call the messenger a retard; or I'm somewhere on the spectrum myself. Possibly both

I can only speak for myself, this thread is not why I'm calling him aspy, and I agree with much of what he's written about taxes here. My reasons are based on interacting with him over the last 4 months, and it's spelled out so some degree in this comment:

But it's not just one instance. It's a pattern over many threads.

But it's not just one instance. It's a pattern over many threads.

Though YesYNot insists on getting the last word, and usually I let him, I will compromise again by linking to what he said before. I looked again at his comment that first persuaded me he's a lying troll, and it contained neither sarcasm nor humor. In subsequent comments, he appeared to endorse many current Democrats' proposals to conscript young American men to kill and die on behalf of MIC sponsors in America's current military misadventures, in addition to endorsing Democrats' historic decisions to conscript young men to kill and die on behalf of patronage network sponsors in both Viet Nam and World War I (which he later changed to World War II). He claimed later to have been joking, but I will leave that for others to judge: maybe he has an incredibly horrible sense of humor and likes to joke about actually slaughtering innocent people, in addition to lying about refugees. In terms of diagnoses, he might be a pathological liar, i.e. a person who lies compulsively and out of all proportion to any discernible goal. When counting the lies of a compulsive liar, one may reasonably include some examples that might have seemed borderline if they had come from someone who doesn't lie compulsively. YesYNot is also obsessive, and insists on lying about having lied, so I won't be surprised if he insists on getting the last word again, even though I will link again to ensure the last words are already his.
