I give up Cele, I can't come close to investing the time needed to
address all of your points so I won't try. But you're trying to gloss
over the way that you've piled on to attack me, and I've been around
quite long enough to understand the real reason you do so- and it
ain't because you've invested the effort to find out what I had to
offer and found it lacking. I'll respond to just a couple things to
clarify.

This is mighty fancy language for explaining why someone is labeling
you a "troll". Bzzt. No dice, Cele.

I will say it one more time: I give back that which I get. When Sky
starts slamming me dismissively, guess what he will get back?

Quiz. Who said the following, and to whom?

"I think you are either willfully malicious or spectacularly devoid of
normal social skills. "

Translation: "I, Cele, am full of spite and disdain for you, Ellen.
And despite my evasions and distractions, the true reason for that
spite and disdain is that I don't agree with your views, and I am
blindly going to defend my friends against you even when they are
clearly wrong."

Your various grammar flames and other silliness don't help either.
Face it Cele, you've made your point, and instead of cultivating a new
friend you've alienated me. I have a feeling that this is not a new
concept for you.
