Yes, and that would be okay, except that you went down on it in much force,
without really referencing the real reason why it came about. Or, well,
there was one reference to the original proposition - you had immediately
called it a rant.
My take on that is quoted below:

I'm sorry, but that information isn't really logical to me and the other
observers. We haven't seen anything much to support those claims, but we
have seen a fair share of flaming.
Now I once again hope that you don't reply in such an irritated manner,
but history says to expect it again. :/
Anyway, I'll go away now and try to do something more productive than
to keep arguing subtle points about judgement.
