- Fight your own battles, Nyikos. Don't expect me, of all people, to fight
- them for you.
-
- In the short time since you blossomed, like some particularly noisome
- fungus, onto the net, you have created the unshakeable impression of a
- person who, despite his claimed academic qualifications, can neither hold
- up his end of a rational debate, nor distinguish fact from innuendo, nor
- apparently count beyond five with any degree of reliability.
-
- You make preposterous claims, without benefit of supporting evidence. When
- called on these claims, your response (if you make one) seems to boil down
- to "Prove me wrong!" When someone _does_ go to the effort and prove you
- wrong, you news server goes down, or deaf, or mute.
-
- Add to that your complete inability to tender much deserved apologies to
- the people you have maligned in various ways with no apparent
- justification. I include in this score Adrienne Regard, Gordon Storga,
- Larry Margolis and Susan Garvin.
-
- I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you are, in fact,
- whom you calim to be. Certainly you've offered no tangible evidence that
- you have any grounding in logic or rhetoric. The worst of your postings,
- in fact, argue strenuously against it. Do you honestly believe that
- pro-choicers are blowing up clinics for the insurance money? Do you expect
- _me_ to believe it?

- Sorry, Mr. Loomis has done nothing to cause any indignation on my part.
- I'm saving as much as I can for Mr. Darcy and yourself.
-
- Mr. Loomis, quite rightly, took issue with your effort to use an individual
- case of malfeasance to tar an entire profession. I believe I posted on
- exactly this point a while back, asking you whether you thought that there
- might ever have been a case of a mathematics professor raping one of his
- students and asking whether you felt we should ban the teaching of
- mathematics on this account.
-
- Curiously enough, you never responded. Perhaps your news server had "gone
- deaf". Or "mute". Or "blind", for that matter.
-
- Or perhaps _you_ had simply "gone stupid". Oh, silly me! You've been
- stupid all along, haven't you?
