If you think those are "insults", SI must be a House of Pain for you :-)

Especially amusing in your little list were the likes of "You are wrong, with proof to boot" and "Errors in your posts". Pray tell since when it is an insult to tell someone they are wrong and that there are errors in their posts?

So I have said (and shown) that our friend Haim does not have a good grip on facts, those little bits that constitute reality. If he's not happy with that, he should read and learn before he forms an opinion and posting it here.

And if you are so eager to protect Haim, then you should try to find errors in my replies to him. Good luck :-)

For your information, an "insult" is a personal attack oh so commonly seen on SI, in the line of "idiot", "moron", "pinhead", "traitor", or as Haim called the French, "scambags" (probably meant "scumbag"), and "m&^&%ther f&*&kers".

So, in short, if you wish to do good to Haim, tell him about the more effective ways of rhetoric, including (but not restricted to) basing your opinion on facts, using facts to support your point and of course with special emphasis on not fabricating stories that are so easily taken down by someone who has a familiarity to the facts on the subject. And don't forget to say it is not good form, nor adult behaviour, for that matter, to sulk when presented facts that challenge his opinion.
