No, Jim, asking you to be precise is my way of trying to figure out 
just what the hell you're getting at. You may not believe me, but
I am honestly interested in your opinions; I'm willing to let you convince
me of the error of my ways (assuming that my ways are in error :-),
but you'll have to do it on the basis of >explaining< your position.
You know, using >reason<. Emotional flaming may be satisfying to you,
but it doesn't address the problems that you (and many of us) are
so concerned with.

Gee, Jim, but you're insulting to almost everyone on the net,
as far as I can tell. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe what's
at fault is >your perception< of other people? You know, you've said all
kinds of insulting things about me, based on assumptions about what I
do for a living, but >you don't know< what I do for a living. Doesn't
that strike you as embarrassing? (especially as your guesses missed the
mark pretty badly...)

Anyway, I'll give you one more chance to come out with something
intelligent and reasonable, stating and defending your position.
If you can't do that much, then I can't see wasting any more of my time
trying to discuss things with you.
