You should know that the person you are trying to argue w or match
wits wits with is a flaming, obnoxious and notorious asshole
Do not put up with him calling you an idiot and a moron or any other

Hi Flebow,

I take your point. I would not characterize him the
way you did, but instead, I would characterize him
as a "cantankerous misanthrope" -- much cleaner and
more accurate. (I am sure he will correct me if
he finds me inaccurate.)

"idiot and a moron" are the least of the things he has
called me. Wait until he calls you a child molester
for witnessing your religion to him, which I did find
very disgusting and I told him so. He has also questioned
my intelligence when I made the statement that I thought
trout when created by God. I do believe I just let that
one slide. But I don't remember.

Still, a tiny part of me, and I can not explain why,
finds him a just a tiny bit endearing. There is no explanation.
I would say it was appreciation for the time he went after
a guy who had decided to stock me, but I found him
a tiny bit endearing before that.

I am really not sparring with him, other than gentle teasing,
like trying to get him to call me a "nitwit", when I write
back to him. I am really writing out of friendship, although
we are not really friends. I am okay with him. And I do
take your point.
