I meant that I had no option but to be unkind.  I can't see any
interpretation of your post that does show you up as wither dishonest or
ignorant.

No it's not.  You have not even stated what this new mantra of yours
means.  What's not in dispute is that H(P,P) == false even though P(P)
halts.  You dispute that this means that H is not a halt decoder (for
this one case) because, I think, you claim that we can't legitimately
specify that H(X,Y) should report on the halting of X(Y).  You could
have said that 18 years ago, but then we'd have ignored you.
