That's one of the lamest rhetorical "distinction without a
difference" excuses I've ever heard.

So... I'm not *really* a "dick" -- I just act like a "dick" huh?

Well, I have just been "imputing" that you HAVE BEEN BEHAVING like a
"hypocritical, self-righteous prick". I have commented on what you
have done, not what you are. Is everything better now?

Ahh...courtesy. I've thoroughly reviewed the history of this group's
messages and found myself to be the lone poster to insult anyone.

If it's a dysfunctional group why are *you* posting here?

Uhhh... you just chose alternative #3 above:

"3) Continue to engage in a pissing contest with me (i.e. "feed the
troll"), as I have a substantial amount of free time available."

ALAN MACKENZIE IS A SELF-RIGHTEOUS HYPOCRITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

them.
