    Post said he said a thing. He did not say the thing. Not complicated.

    Could have worded the post title to be accurate: didn’t. Instead, lied.

    Words matter. Truth matters. Interpretation is how you get religious people performing atrocities based on millennia old writings.

    “[Asshole] Squirms Under Questioning, Refuses To Admit 16hrs A Day Is Addictive Behavior.”

    Not hard.

      Your comments now are a huge shift from

      “That sounds like problematic use,” the Instagram boss answered. He did not call it an addiction.

      He also didn’t say it was a tomato.

      Seems that, in the interest of accuracy, you should update them, lest you be the thing you claim others are.

        I recommend a re-read, my good buddy, of all my posts in this thread.

        Truth. Not lies. Not conjecture.

        This can be the truth that he was dodging the question.

        Don’t say people said things they didn’t say. Simple.

          Your original post was a lie, or dumb accident, through omission. And now that you know better, you are lying intentionally in it.

          You know damn well they were talking about addiction and not tomatoes. And yet you dishonestly tell people those two things are the same.

            Did the douchebag say exactly what the post title said he said?

              Have you walked back your lie comparing the actual topic of addiction to the irrelevant topic of tomatoes? Make sure you post an explicit correction along with an apology.

              “If the truth isn’t enough, I don’t want it.” Please demonstrate.
