I'm not freeunter and it's not important to me but it is obnoxious; that being someone going out of their way to make themselves seem above something or someone else when no one asked nor cares.

[Ignore below. I misread the comments but I'm leaving for context. I think the above comment stands without the evidence below.]

Quoting from above:

  some girl I never heard of
... and below:

  I hear about her all the time
He may not know that she's an actress but it's clear he had previously "heard of" her and lying only makes it more obnoxious. It's the same behavior you can read about in The Onion link.

That's dishonest. You know quite well that, above, I was referring to the actress interviewed in the article under discussion, and, below, to Kardashian, who, you must know, is not the same person. To accuse me of lying by lying about what I said is pretty contemptible.

EDIT: And if they are the same person, you can hardly blame me. The lady on all the magazines looks totally different from the one in the interview. How could I know?

I'm sorry. I honestly missed that. That was meant as evidence to support that you were in fact doing what i was describing. I mistakenly accused you of lying but it still seems the behavior fits (EDIT: not lying rather the behavior in the first paragraph of my original comment).

You're piling more contemptible behavior on top of what you already did, while pretending to apologize. So you admit you were wrong, and have no evidence that I lied, but are tying to suggest that I'm a liar anyway with the ambiguous phrase "it still seems the behavior fits". Amazing.

You know other people can see your comments, right? Not just me?

No it was genuine. I don't think you lied at all and I apologized for it.

> but are tying to suggest that I'm a liar anyway with the ambiguous phrase "it still seems the behavior fits".

Re-read my original comment. The behavior I'm talking about is what is above the edit, not lying, but I can see how you would have that mistaken interpretation. I'm not having my best day with communication.

> You know other people can see your comments, right? Not just me?

Yes, I'm quite aware.
