Hello, well, without wanting to start yet another thread within a thread which indeed sits within another thread may I comment thus:
First, I only skim read text in threads so I miss quite a lot, because of this I have to confess that I don not know why or where John called you a hoaxer. That being said, a dishonourable person might lie or mislead about how they truly feel or what they sincerely believe, an honourable person would not do so. Honourable, in this case, refers to truth and a genuine and honest belief and behaviours. This may not encompass nor identify error, and may sometimes be unpalletable. They may be downright wrong, but what is said or thought is genuinely intended. John I find is genuine in his beliefs and his interpretation and rationalisation of those beliefs, this makes him honourable in my humble view.
John has cut me down to size a few times, he has been acerbic, possibly even aggresive, but he has always been true to what he believes.
