Take a moment to reflect on why that might be the
case. It might be because you *very* routinely resort
to that sort of strategy among many others, when
dealing with people here and elsewhere. I've only used
it once, and only because I felt it was genuinely
justified in order to illuminate what I believed was
the origin and nature of your accusations, not just
because I wanted to be nasty or evasive. Just a couple
of days ago this is what you said to Russell Wallace
without any provocation at all in my opinion:

"You sir are a coward." 

And there are many, many other examples. So many that
I couldn't begin to locate them all.

John, you've been *more* overtly offensive *very many*
times, and you've never been kicked off or even
threatened with it, AFAIK. I must give you props for
another good try here ... although it was ultimately a
failed attempt. I've never said that you were a bad
strategist.
