I did say I was exaggerating a little when I elaborated on my case against thestick. I think you wanted to draw attention to this, but in an indirect way.
Feel free to call me a cat herder, I don't take that as a backhanded compliment.
You admited yourself that you inflated the interpretation of a post:

Go back and read it, and you'll see that he actually states zero opinions of his own. It's all about asking open-ended questions where the answer is sure to incriminate either the person answering or the one he is suspecting. Meanwhile, thestick doesn't have to get his hands dirty.
For example, he asked me "Injera reading Catwalk as not being the kind of person to lie about real life feels suspicious to you?" All I had said was that Injera's defense of Catwalk made no sense. But thestick wants me to enumerate reasons why Injera is suspicious, taking it one step further. Alternatively, maybe I would give a clumsy answer and draw suspicion on myself, instead. An innocuous question for sure, but when all you do is ask innocuous questions, something is fishy.
(Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit here, but I'm trying to convey the tingling feeling his post gives me.)
The bolded part is what I was refering to.
