Odd Guy:
Sometimes I think I am teaching you to chew soft bread.
Look: pointing out a DIFFERENCE between ONE tactic and another is very different than using Person B's long-past sins to lessen or divert attention away from Person A's current sins. These are two entirely different uses of lanaguage.
You keep mashing things that are different together and calling them the same, but only when it suits your biases.
It would help, also, if you state explicitly what you mean when you post mish-mash such as the above clump of posts. It takes a little more courage to say "I see xxxx". But you're big enough to do it and it would make the conversation clearer than putting these things together as though it had some meaning and leaving it all hanging with implications unspoken.
