As far as I know, the transaction is complete, hence the reason that the

Mopuntain out of molehill. McCall started to insult me because I
reported that NASA had started to use "Northrop Grunman" when refering
to Cygnus/Antares since the merger had concluded.


You're a liar. I never "started to insult you". This isn't an
'insult', either, because it is TRUE that the preceding is a lie and
you are thus a liar.


Whether some speech is an insult or not has nothing to do with whether
it is true or false.


We're going to have to agree to disagree about that.


If I would say to someone that he is an idiot, that
is an insult. Whether he is an an idiot or not doesn't change the fact
that is is an insult. It changes the fact of whether it is a lie or not
but not the fact that it is an insult.


Nope. If it's true it's called a 'description', not an 'insult'. Do
you have a point? If so, could you tell me what it is? I never said
I didn't start to insult him because what I said was true. If Mayfly
is insulted when someone questions what he says, he needs to get a lot
smarter.
