Well then you are wrong. But fine, I'll use your definition incorrect
as it may be (when talking to you, please don't misrepresent my other
posts).

Nevertheless, these statements that we are talking about, that I shall
now term "pseudo-insults", are unwanted and not called for. Please
keep them off-list.

I am afraid you are wrong. The body of people of this list, as a
whole, represent this list. As a whole, as I have shown, they resent
your pseudo-insults. rusi is an exception, who only seems to resent
Nikos's, but rusi has not fallen to pseudo-insults himself (herself?).

Irrelevant. Your pseudo-insults are unwanted. Please stop. Argue all
you want - I'm not going to judge who's right. But I'd rather you
appreciate that no-one wants your pseudo-insults on this list.
