- artfulhippo 7y agoIf I understand you, you’re saying that Boz didn’t lie, he just said the truth in so subtle a way that other social predators pick up on it, but that seems nice to normal people. That’s a deception even worse than lying! Lie or not, this style of communication demands stricter sanctions.
