I think that you decided to join the Internet Hate Machine before you knew all the facts, and now you're finding it difficult to admit to yourself that you were taken by a good story.

So we should believe what he says in public instead of what he says in private? Lets be honest here. He's lying. It doesn't matter which statement is a lie. That is a massive statement of his character.

I admit, that's a good point.
