He said very plainly that, despite your differences, he reads your posts,
rather than instantly deleting them like some people do. That strikes me
as a sign of respect. You responded by saying you doubt that he does -- in
short, you called him a liar. Regardless of any other differences you may
have, that is a pretty harsh accusation to make without evidence to back it
up.

Attacking the person rather than the argument, isn't it? I do not even
recall what the subject you were arguing about was, and there is no
evidence of it in any of your recent posts, only the venom. There have
been several points in this thread where the matter could have been allowed
to die down, but someone, in this case you, always insists upon pouring
more gasoline on the fire. I hope you are happy with the result.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
