I apologize. I do have a cruel streak. If I see a cockroach with
only two or three legs, I'll probably put it out of its misery, but
if I see a cockroach with only one leg, and it's still trying to run,
I'll probably just sit back and watch. And maybe even poke and prod
it if it stops momentarily.
Andre is like that cockroach. I've seldom seen anyone who argues
worse. If you have him killfiled, you missed seeing him cite the
Wikipedia entry on Disclave to prove something to me, not realizing
that I wrote it. Then when I pointed that out to him, he claimed it
contradicted something I said, but refused to say what. You also
missed his asking me to prove various claims, then when I did so,
mindlessly repeating that I should prove those claims.
His strongest argument consisted of "cleverly" altering my name when
quoting me.
I think he's run down now, having reached his end state of quoting
randomly chosen past messages in their entirety, interspersed with his
usual half dozen context-free stock phrases. So I'll let him "win" by
having the last word.
