So, who's lying?

Every now and then this issue pops up and I want to address it.

Those who do not like this web site because it affects them do not know how to respond to it. They take the cheap route of saying that everything on here is a lie. That statement is absurd and obviously untrue. Not 'everything' here could be a lie.

Another thing they say is that they are just waiting for me to make a mistake and then they will sue me. OK which is it? If even one thing on here were a lie then they would have grounds to sue me right now! They haven't sued me so that must mean that everything on here is the truth, right? After all I've been doing this for a year and a half now, where's the 'mistake'? Where is the lawsuit?

I don't claim to be perfect and I always try to express myself in a way that you know what you are reading is my opinion, based on facts, as I know them. I also try to provide the factual basis for my opinions so you can view them for yourself and come to your own conclusions. I don't hide anything and I don't lie. I have absolutely nothing to gain or lose about anything that happens in Preble, with the exception of my taxes being raised. Of course that has happened this year when the half of the town that I live in had our taxes increased. (Except for John Steger) Coincidence I'm sure.

When you look at the issues involved ask yourself who is going to gain. Always follow the money. If you do that you will see that there has never been a case where I had anything to gain or lose in any of these issues. However, that has not always been the case with the people who tell you I'm lying. That should be a red flag for you. Of course they would say I'm lying to get you to believe them if they have something to gain. I am truly amazed that some people can't see that. I have heard the term pathological liar applied to some of them. I have witnessed those lies myself and I have to admire her ability to look me straight in the eye and convincingly lie through her teeth. Even evoking God almighty as her witness. I keep waiting for lighting to strike when she does that. Only someone with no conscience or moral underpinnings could do that so convincingly.

So, who's lying? The facts support my contention that it is they, and not I who is lying.

The truth is for you to decide for yourself.
