Not at all.  Were you trying to?

Interesting assessment.  Your assertions lacked substance and relevance and my 
comments addressed exactly those failings.

I made a point of being extremely precise about the nature and basis for the 
criticisms.

It is frankly astonishing that you have so completely missed this.

It is unfortunate that you seem to take such criticism as meaning someone is 
angry with you.

Here, again, you make an assertion without bothering to offer an explanation for 
its basis.

(Given that I made a point of attempting that rigor and feel relatively 
confident I succeeded, it is not surprising that you refrain from justifying 
your accusation.)

Feel free to remedy that, such as by citing what statements lack the necessary 
rigor.

But you won't refrain from posting this inflammatory declaration publicly?

How very constructive of you.

Come to think of it, your note has the qualities of being an ad hominem attack...
