May I suggest just ignoring Sam. I know when someone makes accusations
that
you may feel compelled to defend yourself. In Sam's case I would just
ignore him. By defending yourself you truly are sinking to his level.

I think this is generally good advice. But my concern has been how many
readers will accept these "fantasies" as "facts", especially newbie's who
haven't learned that certain posters have a longstanding history of
frequently posting "facts" that are grossly misleading, grossly distorted,
and flat out wrong.

Some of these "facts" have been directed at me over the years. I have
largely ignore them, but not completely. What is in some ways most annoying
is that once a "fact" has been demonstrated as false, it all too often
reappears later as a "fact". It makes me think that the poster is either a
pathological liar, has a poor memory, or has a poor grasp of reality.
