Kevin, when you write this...

... you are not attacking my ideas, you are attacking "people like me", as
if you have the slightest idea what kind of "people" I really am... this is
judgemental and it is insulting not only to me, but to "people like me". If
you care to intelligently discuss an issue, fine... but your style of
writing is self-serving and personally demeaning not only to me but to
others as well. I have misread nothing...
