Yes, but we all know that by now.  Continually repeating that fact in
virtually all of your posts distracts from your own factual arguments.
I think it makes you look a bit like a troll, particularly to newcomers.

If you could cut down the volume to perhaps 20%, pointing out only the
most egregious examples of lying, the effect would be magnified, not
diminished.
