Yeh, I can be accused of occasionally trying to confuse people with the facts. It usually trips them up.

It can also be observed that some in this forum like to accuse other members of mistakes and bad thought, but couch it in general terms, to avoid having to actually show such has taken place.

Some people can occasionally be accused of insufferable self-regard. Smugness, even.

It's important to remember that Freddie Gray didn't have the use of his legs after Nero got done with him.
