1. Who asked you into this particular exchange?
2. If you're going to get after my butt, do it about something I actually said -- not something you want to make up to gripe about.

4. Just don't make up bilge about what I say, and then make sarcastic remarks about the words you falsely attribute to me -- that way there will be no need for either of us to "lighten up."
