Debating? I said many times I was not debating with anybody, if it was a
debate, then I would have moved it into the debate thread. Maybe this was
your first mistakes (of a few) in assuming this was a debate, or I cared
what you had to say.
I am going to pull something from above:
"Eric may have been under the impression"
~ and ~
"not difficult for me to imagine that"
Now those are assumptions, you trying to weasel out of it just shows your
immaturity even more.

Then what should I take it as? You had, and still have no idea what my age

would you say this is? You made an uneducated and stupid guess. It is easy

conversation and do not make an apology when you are wrong. There have been
a few people that have have told me this is your typical style, both by
posting here and via email. I do expect an apology from you - But I am not
holding my breath because you probally see nothing worng in what you do.
