Yes. That is wrong. But I didn’t do that.

I pointed out something that is integral to his argument, about which he twice made the same mistake (which, obviously, shows he didn’t understand it to be a mistake). I chose one error (there are others) that could be discussed with you - I thought - somewhat calmly and rationally, because it is easily verified in a grammar book of Hebrew. It is a clear, simple factual error. And if two people in discussion cannot agree on a clear, factual error, you tell me, what is the point of proceeding?

Your response was, “yawn.” I took that to mean, and correct me if I am wrong, that you weren’t going to bother looking and checking, and that I was being blown off. OK, that is fine, if that is the way you choose to further your case. I responded that I took note of your method of argumentation, that you choose not to be informed. So be it.

Your response was, to say the least, neither calm nor rational. So, I ask you, what is the point in going further when all I received in return was ... well, you go back and look what you wrote, look at it calmly and dispassionately now. How would you characterize it? I wrote in no such way to you.
