I guess you do not in fact mind being seen as a cherry picker. rug May 2013 #14
I couldn't care less about your opinion on the subject, being a cherry picker yourself. cleanhippie May 2013 #15
As a matter of fact I don't but I do demand accuracy in news. rug May 2013 #16
Maybe you should look for accuracy in your beliefs first. cleanhippie May 2013 #27
It's much more challenging to find them in your posts. rug May 2013 #28

Were that the case, he could end it with a simple "Yes" or "No" Lordquinton May 2013 #89
I see you're still flying around the pile. So here's your answer. rug May 2013 #113
Almost a straight answer, Thank you Lordquinton May 2013 #119
