Really? The usual challenge: quote the statement which you consider to
be a lie.

Your prime counting function is real. It realio-trulio is a variant on
Legendre's sum, which is also real.

The usual challenge: Which statement was a lie?

> His emotion was shown in his posts from all the insults,

You mean, "dear god you're dim"? Is that what you consider "emotion"
or "anger"? I would consider it the verbal equivalent of an
exasperated sigh. If he were Jewish, it might be expressed as "oy".
I'm not Jewish, but I frequently use "oy vey" when nothing else quite
says it. Like here.

Oy vey.

Hint for you: exasperation is a common element of many Usenet
interactions, especially those dealing with cranks. You give yourself
too much credit when you talk about how angry you're making people.
People don't just insult to show emotion. They insult to be insulting.
