Aw, who is now getting uppity, have I hit on the truth?

Lets examine your points in order:

1 No I have not misrepresented what you have said. The only change
that I have made in your news post is in the posting order, I have "de
top posted them", placing the contributions in chronological order,
which, like the rest, is a matter of record. My local news server
retains posts for a period of time, unadulterated with the exception
of adding the R-lines, as do news servers all over the world. I do not
lie, the facts speak for themselves.

2 As I said, the term "Village Idiot" appears alongside your pseudonym
in an internet address as already described. If you care to check, the
net time of this predates my post by some hours. Again, a matter of
record, I do not lie, the facts speak for themselves.

3 The definition of a dictionary:

A book dealing with the individual words of a language (or certain
specified classes of them), so as to set forth their orthography,
pronunciation, signification, and use, their synonyms, derivation,
and history, or at least some of these facts. (O.E.D.)

History in this context relates to the historic derivation of the
word. Yet again a matter of record, again the facts speak for
themselves.

4 As nearly any editor, lawyer or student of the English language will
know, the comma in the RFC is redundant. However, I do not need to
debate the semantics with you, you know that. You were seeking to
place your own errant construction on the RFC.

5 We have been here before. Again you wish to get your point over by
putting it in front of the views of others. This is typical of a
bigot.

6 Even to one as bigotted as you, it is sensible to read the news post
in some sensible order. If you need to understand the term "bigotted",
here it is, courtesy of the O.E.D.:

Obstinately and blindly attached to some creed, opinion, or party;
unreasonably devoted to a system or party, and intolerant towards
others.

I think this is a nice summation of your views.


As you who is known here by the pseudonym "The Village Idiot", a title
given by others, not I, seem unable to post a single, reasoned, and
coherent reply to my post, I repeat it above for your convenience in
assembling something worthy of consideration.

Your piecemeal replies are an attempt of self-aggrandisement which is
typical of paranoid tendancies.
