I don't understand the point of lying about me when all of the evidence is directly above, six sentences in total length, and abundantly clear. That leaves me with the conclusion that, no, indeed, three times was not enough.

>You can reasonably argue they they should get more

>Like I said, it is reasonable to argue that the public deserves more return

>it is reasonable to argue that people should receive more benefit for their tax money

That brings us to six. Can I just add that I think a reasonable argument might be made that the public is entitled to a greater benefit from their contribution to drug research? Or is it supposed to be 77 times 7 times?

If you're using the word "lying" about a comment on an HN thread, it has gone off the rails, and you should stop.

The word was used in the construction 'I don't think it makes sense that you would be lying, therefore I must conclude that I haven't gotten through to you', to justify my repetition.

It certainly has gone off the rails, but I am entitled to defend myself at least as much as you are entitled to tell me to stop. I haven't done anything wrong. I am finished now though
