So you got "tricked" by Barry's "artful deceit". Is that it? Your defense, then, is that you are a feckless, gullible moron?!
I personally didn't get tricked but many people did and being tricked by 'artful deceit' isn't a sign of gullibility or of being a moron. In turn, being tricked by blatant deceit and blatant stupidity is gullible and moronic.
