Larry,
You really are being obtuse. We could all speak many truths about many users
here, but most of us do not - as we know it is insulting and because we are
civil. I am happy for you to continue to insult me (just like, to a certain
extent, I was happy for Matt to insult us all) as the more you do it, the
weaker it makes you look.
Further, I find the straw poll you have taken above to spectacularly
ridiculous. I could note that the consensus of views posted here is that you
did indeed fabricate the point I am questioning you on - but even I know
that is rather pointless.
All I ask Larry is that you be willing to justify the points you make –
people may respect your argument more if you could justify yourself. Just
like you have not done here:

Is it too much to ask that you be willing to justify yourself?
