That "...more sinister, explanation for his behaviour." comment that you'd hang as originating with a "British troll[]" yet contained in Q's link that I referenced--as if we willing are led astray by a troll or have a special affinity for someone that uses British English spelling--was merely a user comment to the thread!
It has no place being hung around Q's or my neck as if it were some kind of boat anchor or millstone. Any user could have placed it. It could have said almost anything "legal" and allowed to stand.
Such silliness. Your mentor is probably embarrassed.
And BTW, thanks for outing yourself a Q deprecator. You've polarized only yourself from the group here, but polarization was your aim, just as it's been C&H's, wasn't it?
