Again, I am just trying to say that we KNOW their numbers were not accurate when it came to how many got out. Based on that knowledge, I personally would not trust any number they might proffer with regards to how many joined. How could they possibly know? Any statement concerning the number of men who have joined, when coming from the UPC, would be a matter of either conjecture or hearsay. If they HEARD that "only 72" have joined, and they repeat that, they wouldn't technically be "misconstruing facts." However, one would have to question the motive behind spreading such a story. It could ONLY be to "downplay" what has happened as a result of the vote in Tampa.
I hope that clarifies my statement sufficiently. If not, I don't know what more to say.

I believe you are a gentlemen and, as such, entirely too kind regarding this situation.
I am much more liberal than your average bear, but I can guarantee you that the boys at good ole HQ knew how many had left.
They just chose to spin information in their favor.
Is that lying?
