He's not entitled to lie about what other people said.

What I said, in text *you* *deleted*:

     What I responded to was not "abortion is murder".  Richy did
     not say that; he misrepresented a statement attributed to
     sexkitten.  sexkitten has NEVER said "it's alright[sic] to
     murder an innocent baby", and it is dishonest of Richy to
     claim that she did.

Now who's avoiding the issue?

Why do you have a problem with me wanting to tweak his nose about it? 
Did someone put too much starch in your net.cop uniform?

It's not a matter of opinion; you are truly ignorant about the
multi-centuries' old tradition of using "X" to refer to Christ.

Do yourself a favor, Bobby - instead of burnishing your image as an
incurious know-nothing, follow the link and learn something.
