For whatever reason, the fact came up that I contribute money to charities,
to friends in need, and at times even to total strangers whose GoFundMe
pages tell of people in desperate situations. Hundreds of dollars a year, sometimes
into the thousands.
Duke first responded that what I do is a "wonderful gift".
(but then, naturally, has to give the God I don't believe in the credit for my actions):

But then, for what ever bizarre reasons, Earl abruptly changes his tune,
now stridently lies that I just do this for "tax deductions":
-- "I saw where you donated some funds. Got your tax deduction. But you
didn't lift one hand to personally reach out to others. You know, the old
volunteer way. No reward except your tax deduction".
== https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.atheism/yH284EHuIyc/aANZBJnkBAAJ
I respond, telling him that I in fact don't even bother to itemize. Never have:
"I don't itemize my taxes, Lyin' Earl.
I took no deductions for the money I gave to others."
== https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.atheism/yH284EHuIyc/D-G7fqrmBAAJ
Earl, on reading that, gracefully decides to apologize for having impugned
my motives. A most satisfactory resolution.
Hey, JUST KIDDING! Earl chooses to double down on his lies about me.
-- "So it was ONLY for tax deductions purposes"
-- "If you donate lots, you itemize"
-- "You got hooked for the tax deduction. You never donated out of love,
did you"
== https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.atheism/yH284EHuIyc/V-BxJIVGBQAJ
Bizarrely, Earl now decides to export his lying to yet another thread, completely
unrelated to the one all this came up in:
-- "You are the one that donates for tax deductions."
(what this has to do with a discussion of abortion, sweet Bastet only knows)

So, lying "on the ng"? Absolutely. Making up out of whole cloth a false and
insulting story about why I choose to give money to charities to friends,
sometimes even to strangers.
I give money because I can.
And, being a lazy SOB, never bother to itemize.
Ol' Lyin' Earl Lied about my motives, lied about my actions.
Because that's what he does.
Next up: Earl lies that Ted wrote something when in fact it was
Earl himself who posted it. Stay tuned.
