Yes, as Ram does so here - he conveniently leaves off the *first* time
he baited me on the channel, our both departing from the channel,
our return, and his repeated refusal to admit that maybe I know
something about the topic, and another 20 or 30 messages direct, which
already included *several* goodnight's on my part.

If power had gone to my head, you would have been history, on all your
userids, forever, the *first* time you went around baiting me like that.

Now, just how many times do you expect me to listen to you tell me
"oh, it MUST be true, they said it in an interview" and be called
ignorant before I lose my temper?   You *do* realize that if you had
left well enough alone after I left the channel, it would have ended
right there...

Next time, consider your own role in the situation, and ask if maybe
you didn't bring the problem on yourself.  I told you "fuck off"
after *several* requests on my part that I didn't wish to continue
the conversation.

(Also, it's interesting that the apologies on both sides after that
outburst were also ommited.  And that I was willing to carry it on
in private, but Ram feels a need to drag it out.  Now, who said
"hypocrisy"?
