What are you talking about?
Taking responsibility for all things in your life is a tenet of Buddhism.
Was President Roosevelt being honest when he lied to the public to cover up the invasion of Normandy?
If your wife says to you "does this make me look fat" do you tell her the truth and ruin the evening, or do you lie to her, so she will enjoy the event?
Now, what are you talking about? Stop beating around the bush and say it!

Shaky had no clue about the details of the situation. All he knew is what is publicly available on JIA's profile. If you're inferring that he lied, I'd ask you two things:
1. Why would you assume this?
2. What does this have to do with the discussions you two shared?
Also, keep dodging my hard questions.

In the case of your wife, tell her, "I always liked that Blue number best
(or whatever outift you actually like that DOES flatter her appearance)
... I was kind of hoping you would wear THAT one this evening".
In most cases, it is possible to be honest and tactful at the same time.

I wasn't really asking you those questions. I was asking you to think about what you were asking. Taking responsibility for all things in your life is far more valuable then honesty. There are time when honesty is not appropriate, like if you are trying to save someone's life.

He's calling to attention that BWR is implying you knew I reported JIA and you were lying when you said I had nothing to do with it. The reality is (besides this is all misdirection) that you didn't know I reported JIA, and therefore your comments were not lying; you simply didn't know the situation.
Let's stop feeding into BWR's maelstrom of BS here. He's been implying this and implying that all to avoid actually answering to the assertions he made in the other thread.

If he doesn't stop I will have to dowse myself with gasoline and set fire to my flesh. That is what Buddhists do, right? 😐

Thank you. I will put the gas can away now.
