Would it be so crazy?

17. Here's one huge difference between you and me.

And it's perhaps the only huge difference: intellectual honesty.

Every few thousand posts, I write something that I believe at the moment but don't usually believe. When I do, unless I think better of it within a few minutes, I leave it up rather than self-deleting, because it is what it is. In the case of the one post - out of tens of thousands of mine - that you reference repeatedly, it's pretty clear what's going on in my head.

You, by contrast, when found to be posting things that were utterly contradictory, ran way back in time and self-deleted inconvenient posts en masse - until it turned out that while your posts were deleted on DU, they lived forever in the Internet Archive:

And, indeed, it's pretty clear that you make stuff up out of whole cloth just to be belligerent:
