This sarcasm is going to turn out to be symptomatic, I fear.

Mike Lorrey has written 18 posts in the last three days. I would
appreciate very much if you would back up your claim. I want to
see some examples in those 18 posts of

* vitriol
* never [sic] answering questions directly
* misquoting
* setting up straw men
* coming across as rude or bullying

I am committed to the truth. If you can find instances of those,
and they are, as you imply, quite unambiguous, I will join you
in your assertions. But if you cannot, then I would expect that
in the interests of fair play, you would admit that you had spoken
hastily, and retract your remarks.

It's very simple. Just back up your assertions.

Thanks,
Lee Corbin
