Your points would have been better expressed without the personal attacks on Butterdezillion, . .

I made no personal attacks. My comments were directed at her arguments (which I think are Bond-novel-esque in their nonsense) and her refusal to defend her own position. (This, after calling me 'chicken' back in September - which was a personal attack).

. . .but rather have taken on the watchfulness of engaged citizens as a second job.

There's nothing wrong per se with watchfulness. It's when the watcher simply cannot seem ever to view any event outside the prism of the conspiratorial glasses that I take issue.

Perhaps it is the snarkiness of your tone that sets off the "troll tingle" that we feel when you respond.

Perhaps, but I find it's a 'no win' thing no matter how I play it. If I act like I give such arguments any credibility, I get accused of being insincere. So I call 'em as I see 'em -- hogwash. If that gets interpreted as haughty, so be it. To paraphrase Hook, "Let the mortals envy me."

As Hook himself would say, "The pulling spawn, how I despise them."

You get points for being able to quote Hook. :)

Safe journey on your self-imposed exile.

Thank you. The journey back will occur from time to time.

Nice sparing with you. Have a Merry Christmas! Glad to see that you will journey back occasionally because as Hook himself said, “What would the world be like without Captain Hook?”

(Chicken was a little harsh. I mean, really, poultry?)
