- What eventually Kevin? You rise to the bait every single time, making
- yourself look as petty as Kegan could wish. If you're so certain he's
- wrong, then ignorethe comments, and stand on your merits. If you can't
- do that, then perhaps Kegan is correct about you.

- You seem to be a bit confused here Kevin. Your reaction is to come out
- screaming, reacting in *exactly* the way you are intended to. If the
- claims about your lack of consistancy and intelligence are correct,
- that will be apparent by your articles. Your responses to baiting,
- which is intended to provoke the exact reaction you provi, do nothing
- to counter Keegans arguments about you.
