It's all about you.
You want the discussion to be about you, not the issue.
There are just too many smart posters who see through it.
I've discussed this issue with all kinds of people who were civil, even if we disagreed with the details.
But, since you think so little of me, could you please quit pinging me, and let me discuss the issue with others? You seem to go out of your way to involve me (you pinged me four times without a single post from me to you), and I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave me alone.
Please?
