It's the 'mostly the truth' part that is the problem. Which could aslo be stated 'only partly lies'. Doesn't bode well if you want credibility. And the 'i'm better/smarter' than you attitude (or 'slant') doesn't earn respect from either side of an argument...

'Stirring the pot' does no one any good if the soup smells bad and the cook is flinging insults.

Bill - have you caught many steelhead? Trying to compare a lake caught trout with a chrome bright wild steelhead us like comparing cats n dogs - or at least a lab and a rottie...
