David, you don't seem to understand the 'ad hominem/ad feminam' principle at

difficult but sometimes lively discussion almost impossible, and it does
nothing but create enmity and annoyance.

as an attempt to cause as much trouble as possible, was the very reason that
rule existed.

I'm sorry -- I really am too angry too type any more. It was a mistake to
break my habit of completely ignoring any post with David Lace's name
attached to it, and simply not opening them.
Something I certainly have no intention of ever doing again.
