Dispute the content. Else push off. If my statement above does injury
to one of your major constituencies, then that is one of the several
hazards which accompanies the presumed benefit of accepting their
undiscriminating support.

And as to rudeness, your list is rude in the extreme. I've not been 
the only person to point that out. You seem to be highly selective
about where you choose to apply your alleged standards. And that is
*precisely* the concern being expressed.

Again.
