I doubt that ;-) People only play with words when the truth is not in 
their favour.

Or Parallel to this:

NMK: Chris Johnson does not understand because of his high cholesterol 
from eating too much pork

CFAJ: That is not true. Nabil is a Muslim, he does not eat pork (as if 
this has any thing to do with the point Nabil is raising) and moreover I 
may be Jewsih [which I am not confirming nor denying] and would not eat 
Prok to begin with.

Now, in this type of 'dialogue' the main issues are dodged and trivia or 
secondary things, more than not of a personal nature, are used. Now in 
the above fictional dialogue, Chris did not answer the main 
question/allegation that he has a high cholesterol level. He typically 
takes the issue to other angles (now religious ;-) and play with words. 

Enjoy your games, Chris. Some people will not play it, or they are forced 
to, only blame yourself. You can never out-wit me. Ask Bob Allisat, he 
tried this. He was forced for the first time to put me in his kill file. 
Which might not be a bad idea 8^)
