_Seems_ contradictory, but as I pointe dout, _may not be_.

He was "under attack" _at his school_ for his use of _school computing 
resources_.  If he truly only did use Safari on the schools (possibly 
Mac-only) systems, I can easily see him "honestly" saying "I never use 
IE, only Safari" and that could be true _in that computing 
environment_, and it's certainly much easier to say and sounds better, 
though is not more or less contextually truthful, than the possibly 
complete "At school I never use IE, only Safarai, whereas at home I use 
Firefox except when editing my blog".

I agree it seems contradictory given what little we _really_ know of 
all the "facts" and I really don't care one way or the other.  I was 
just pointing out that we should not rush to judgement either way on 
such extremely slight information...
