I totally reject this fatuous premise above....
Inasmuch as my ‘silly and pointless’ remark was not directed at you per se, I totally reject your rejection...
you have conflated my phrase ‘those who claim otherwise’ with a slam at yourself; such is not the case, but if you wish to be hypersensitive, by all means, do so...
Then it was pointless to direct it at me, in response to MY objections - which is the context in which you replied. Now I don't disagree that there are some who fit your remark - to a tee - but yours truly ain't one of them.
