Don’t be nice rob777, this was a dishonest cheesy vanity from a self absorbed arrogant hack who is seeking cheap hurrahs and back slaps from the willing.
Don’t worry, he is like you, and never nice, just deceptive and snide.
It is not really a question of being nice, but a refusal to be sucked into the game of childish name calling. I referred to the article as containing unsubstantiated nonsense. That was a reference to the content of the article and not a personal comment on the author, or any one else for that matter. The response by editor-surveyor was to attack not the substance of what I said, but me personally. I find such tactics more reflective of children playing in a sand box than adults debating the merits of an issue and simply choose not to play.
