That -is- a problem.  That -does- get in your way if you do not address it.

2) FACT - You said:

You publicly admit you are addressing a problem.

3) FACT - You said:

You further admit and expound upon the fact that you are addressing the
problem, in order to guarantee mitigation of said problem.

4) FACT - You said:

> > Bottom line, The license manager does not get in my way.

You made a blatantly untrue statement.  The license manager -does- get in
your way, if you had to go out of your way to guarantee performance which
the license manager should inherently guarantee on its own.  Choice or not
(sure, you -could- let it screw you over randomly), it obviously -did- get
in your way enough to trouble you to -make- the choice to address it.

5) QUESTION:  What do -you- call someone who intentionally and knowingly
makes untrue statements in favour of their own point of view, contrary to
the facts?

If you don't like the assertion, don't invite it by exhibiting the
behaviour the assertion describes.  QED.

In point of FACT, I didn't explicitly call you a liar.  I said your
statement was a lie.  The statement -is- demonstrably a lie, but I did not
go for a personal attack.  You inferred one, but that's your problem, since
I never said it directly.  I was addressing the statement alone, not your
character.  However, if you want to turn it into something it wasn't, well
then I've just shown you that you have no leg to stand on for that argument
either.

NEXT!
