And now we get to the heart of the matter.

If it "isn't" when I say it "is", I look forward to your well reasoned
argument. I have no doubt I will learn something, even if we ultimately
agree to disagree. I realize you seriously doubt whether I have anything to
offer, but that just isn't my problem. I will let my words speak for
themselves, for better or for worse.

I have no interest in insults, even when thinly veiled as criticism.
Attacking me personally, attacking my status as a student or not a student,
and attacking my status as "somebody" serves only to weaken the reason
behind your argument. Attack my ideas, please don't attack me.
