This pains me, but here’s what actually happened.
In the first post below Gary makes the perfectly legitimate claim that there are doubts around the conduct of the testers
In the second below Dibs gives an opinion based on a leap of faith.
In the third post below Gary highlights that maybe we need something more substantial than one’s ill informed opinion.
In the fourth post below, Dibs not only spells Gary’s name wrong but also highlights that it is just ‘his opinion’ and confirms what Gary originally stated about their being the need for due process free from individual opinion.
In the fifth post below Gary reiterates his original point about their being ‘another side to the story’ and again highlights how due process is critical.
In the sixth post below, Dibs tries to suggest that Gary is asserting that Dibs’ opinion alone will impact on due process.
In the seventh post below, Gary corrects Dibs and highlights that there are multiple people willing to make assumptions on old mate’s guilt without all the facts. This is consistent with what he has already said but at this stage Gary is worried that Dibs is taking things personally when it is clear that Gary is talking in much more broader terms
These fears are confirmed after the eighth post below where Dibs indeed takes it personally.
In the ninth post below, Gary tries his best to reassure Dibs that his point was broader than one person’s opinion. He is also starting to suspect that Dibs is having a lend of him.
In the tenth post below, Dibs again tries to turn it into a personal attack on him.
In the eleventh post below, Gary again reassures Dibs that his point was much broader than one individual and highlights that he could equally mount an argument that his original point was being misunderstood and derided.
In the twelfth post below, Dibs lets Gary know that he was being genuine. Gary feels comforted by this.
Feeling comforted, Gary lets Dibs know in the thirteenth post below that he was also being genuine. This later bites him on the arse.
In the fourteenth post below, Dibs asks a strange and confusing question about whether Gary has somehow changed his opinion despite no evidence that would suggest this is the case. Gary is seriously concerned about the direction that the conversation has taken at this point.
In response Gary uses the fifteenth post below as an attempt to rapidly change the topic and move on from what had become a largely fruitless conversation that was being had a cross purposes.
Not recognising this and sensing he had a chance to go in for the kill, Dibs saved perhaps his most ridiculous post for last suggesting that was Gary was ‘full of shit’ despite countless evidence to the contrary which has been provided above.
So in short,
@strider is a mincer.
