...one of us is turning into Larry Palena, and I'm determined that it shall
not be me.  I have more to say on the subject of our argument, and in
reply to some of the more personal accusations thrown at me, but I'm not
going to say any of them.  It's just not worth the time, neither to me
nor (especially) to the other people reading this.

Backing off was a technique that kept my face intact in high school, and
I suppose it's time to re-use it now.  Say what's necessary to appease
them, but make sure they see the contempt on your face.

I have enough self-respect to shut my mouth before things get out of
hand.  I hope Mr. Hofmann has the same.

Sigh. 'Nuff said.
