Which is utterly impossible to do. Point in question: I find
your patronizing style utterly offensive.

Would you care to name names, little one? This style of taking
pot shots at a large fgroup of people, but hiding behind the shield
of "I did not name names, so I can't possibly be insulting" is highly
irritating and insulting.

Living up on a high horse and callig people who do may happen
to to understand whatthe hell you are talking about under all these
circumlocutions and indirections "pigheaded" is trolling, and
probably flaming.

Which ones are these animals, pray? And how can they be
anonymous, unless they use psuedonyms, like our old freiend John
Galt?
I find this vague rants where the ranter is too cowardly to
actually name the names they are ranting against highly
irritating. And yes, I do mean you, Mr. Haas.
