There is no need for you to act all hurt and indignant. You know very
well I've been treating you this way for years.

Upset because I won't stand still long enough for you to direct one of
your ponderous blows at me?

No. Nor could you find any refrence to it in Google and, for that

Its a great pity you felt obliged to defend yourself by email. Thust

You produced arguments. You didn't produce facts which were evidence
of anything relevant. But that's your way, isn't it? Clouds of
entangling impenetrable argument. Commonly known as 'squink'.
