I did not reply to ANY of Lee's post (however wrong he was), and I
did NOT even comment on posts by Strike and Huw who told Lee how
wrong he was, but THIS one I have to post why Lee is up to his same
old trick of

    Misrepresenting me (by saying I said the OPPOSITE of what I said)
    Quoting me OUT OF CONTEXT
    Makes self-serving LIES otherwise.


Here they are.

That's a complete TWIST and DISTORTION of what *I* posted, in my
reply to Confucio (Giovanni):

Strike's comment to Lee:

Lee certainly did a good job TWISTING my words into something
opposite of what I said!  Lee, if you're going to quote "Bob's words",
QUOTE THEM.  Not misrepresent them or twist them as Lee always does.

This was my comment on Jean Marc's reference (the medical study):

RF> SPECULATIONS (spewed forth by Confucio's "friend") taken as if
RF> they had been proven and programmable into any AI computer PROPERLY.

Strike obviously AGREED with my paragraph, to the effect that exercise
IS BENEFICIAL, as oppose to Giovanni's MYTHS and SPECULATIONS to the
contrary, that exercise leads to DCS.

I worded my paragraph VERY CAREFULLY so as not to overstate or
understate the case of that one controlled study to which Jean-
Marc referred.  I don't think Lee is THAT BAD a reader.  Lee merely
made a pest of himself TWISTING what I have to say.


Lee>I'm just commenting on Bob's statements that what others post
Lee>are mere myths and speculation,

If Lee had QUOTED me, then there wouldn't be any ambiguity on WHOM
I referred and that there weren't any "others".  But that would have
defeated Lee's purpose to TWIST and obfuscate, wouldn't it?

RF> MYTH and SPECULATIONS (spewed forth by Confucio's "friend")

I was specifically addressing Giovanni's (Confucio's) NON-REPLY to
my serious comments and questions.  That was the ONLY SWINE in
question.

Nobody else took offense to THAT statement of mine except Lee, and
ONLY because Lee twisted and misquoted what I had to say!

Strike continued to Lee:

Lee>I not only pardon you, I appologize for appearing to include you.
Lee>I appear to be mistaken in my assumption that you would be as

Strike wasn't offended because he is a careful reader, and UNDERSTOOD
perfectly what I had to say.

TWIST and DISTORT all you want.  The evidence is to the contrary to
EVERYTHING you've posted, in reply to Strike's criticism of what
YOU posted.

For your post in question to which I am clarifying the substance
of your deliberate DISTORTIONS and LIES, I'll call you a SWINE now
for what you have posted.

Lee, ignorance is excusable.  Lately, all you have posted in reply
to what OTHER'S reply to me are nothing but your NOISE, usually
based on your own MISREAD or deliberate DISTORTION of what I
have to say.

Why?  You think your rhetoric and lies will make you more credible
in the eyes of CASUAL readers on this LIST.  The CAREFUL readers
already know what you are!
