That post is fine from a social-manners point of view. But you still don't address the fact that you jumped to the conclusion that I lied. You could have just as easily assumed that the example was true, but that it was out of context, or as you say, that it was an exceptional or unrepresentative example. Instead, you assumed that I lied.
Spending too much time in the bearpit maybe ..?
You know, you could learn something from my other post here giving excerpts of a study dealing with the transport and employment situation in this city. As I pointed out, this study shows that although this metropolitan area covers twice the area of NYC, it doesn't have anything like the business or transport infrastructure (4 million people only).
Now, not that I want to get into a discussion about this point, as I've had enough. I am just showing you, that there are actually facts and realities in the world out there which, like anyone else, you are not aware of - and so which you should not jump to conclusions about, or try and force-fit to your own existing agenda.
That's it for now - have the last word if you wish.
