Rhetorical surprise.

Put truth into lies and what do you get? Normally personal attack, character
assasinations, cries of Who Cares, cries of Boredom, calls for Banning. Anything
but face up to the truth. ChrisW told me you might be better off looking at the
perpetrators of falsehoods.

ChrisW told me that he didn't say anybody was a "rat". He did say that Mr
Enrique and Mr Schroeder were hypocritical. And he affirms that that is a true
statement which is backed by data.
