To your present knowledge, I am not the one who was sent to the corner for being 'out of control', so you're not in a position to counsel others in that regard.

But if "to my present knowledge-NO" is the best you can do, then that's all I wanted, anyway. You don't think he was justified in his actions that evening. Therefore, he was unjustified. Glad we agree on that, at least.

"To our present knowledge" is always assumed, so the phrase isn't necessary, BTW.

Yep, the old 'unclean hands' retort. [if you get an answer you don't like, attack on another front]

Yes, what a relief that you finally understood a point I've been making since Sat morning.

Really? - If that's so, only a pedant would find it necessary to lecture on it, imo.
