Actually, you conceded that I had later in your note:

And your defensive explanations are more than lame.  They are downright 
childish:

So that's not a claim, it's a question?  Right....

So conjectures don't count as claims?  You never "claimed" this stuff or 
"stated" this stuff.  You merely conjectured that "it's as though" or "you 
seem..."

You really wasted my time denying these claims and DEMANDING in capital 
letters that I give examples of any such statements or claims.  And this is 
your defense?  I shouldn't have even bothered responding to your feigned 
indignation.

Yes.  And more than that, you keep wasting my time by goading me into 
waiting for some "big moment".  Maybe the joke's on me.  But I'm beginning 
to "conjecture" that there is no big moment.  "It's as though" you are just 
stringing me along to see how long you can keep me in a conversation that 
never actually goes anywhere.  "You seem" to be doing this on purpose.  You 
really are an asshole, "eh?"

I'm going to stick you in my kill file.  That way I don't have to see your 
"conjectures" that I am too afraid to argue with you, and mistake those for 
actual claims or statements that I should respond to.
