On a number of occasions you have used insulting language
demeaning me.

Very humorous. If we didn't have a history, I might 
have been quite charmed.

Why, thank you!

Jef, just please lay off.  Please don't go on attempting to characterize
me or my writing style. Just leave it alone.

I've asked before, and it did seem like for a few months you got
the message.  Here it is again, loud and clear.  I do not wish to
get into any kind of subtle tit-for-tat mocking exchagnes with you.
Just refrain from further characterizations of me and all will be well.
