Well, I posted a fact: leniency toward government official misbehavior. empath75 posted a fact in a reply to my fact: most government employees are good. The fact doesn't contradict mine directly, but it came across as a rebuttal. There's a pattern to this type of answers. It's 'throwing true facts out there that sort of contradict a point without having to actually address the point being made, and if anyone takes the bait, you can always say there was never any contradiction being made, it was just a statement of facts'. So I did the same. I posted a totally true fact that sort of rebuts the point without having to address the point being brought up. I prefer a point-counter point types of conversation. Edit: I don't think civil servants are like drug dealers.
