LOL! I challenged you to give up just two of your lies and to stop focusing
on your insecurity and instead focus on technology... and that is too much
for you.

As I predicted. 

Also not hard to predict you would try to turn things around and try to make
it about me, as if I was doing something wrong to ask you to try to stop
trolling in very specific ways. You made a "request" tied to vague
insults... and no criteria.

Comes down to YOU are trolling here. Very clearly.

My asking you to be honest has hit a nerve with you!
