The fault is that some people simply cannot have anyone disagree with them. You are not one of those, in my experience. You, like many of us, don't like it when someone who disagrees stoops to calling names, assuming motives and accusing, instead of providing serious rebutal.
Take it with a grain of salt, learn how avoid *undue* dismissal of your posts, and carry on carrying on. Please.
