That he was attempting to deceive people is your take on it from your mean, self-serving, vindictive perspective. That may or may not be the case, but it certainly doesn't show from his previous posts.
I do not want to spend time on your contention. I will simply downvote all your comments on the matter from now on. Please let it go. I am asking you to kindly not persist in this and waste any more of my time. If he repeats what you think, but I don't agree, was a deliberate deception then he will b e dealt with by the community no doubt.
