I choose nerve tweeking, as I can relate more to it.

Thanks for posting one of the posts that perhaps set you off. But I don't see in it any of the things you accused me of, frankly. I expressed my opinions, assertively. The only one of your charges this post is relevant to is that I did, indeed, "decry the supposed intolerance and bigotry of others." Yep. I did that. But where did I "[display] a remarkable intolerance for diverse opinions"? Proof of any of your charges still awaits. BTW, just so we set the record straight, as to what I said about X, which if any parts do you disagree with? Do you disagree that she claims to be tolerant? Do you disagree that she is dishonest? (Keep in mind that for a long time she adopted here a persona which she later said was totally fictious and that she intentionally said things here on SI that were completely false.) Do you deny that she is bigoted? (Bigot: a person who is extremely intolerant of another's creed, belief, or opinion. Random House Webster's College Dictionary. Think of her statements about religion, and her statements about my opinions on various things, and tell me they don't represent bigotry under the dictionary definition. In fact, she once said she was extremely intolerant of people whose opinions were, in her view, intolerant. Convicted from her own mouth.) Do you deny that she had a long-standing practice of "pretending to be on SI that which she isn't"? You hardly can, since she admitted that herself. So, you may not like what I posted, but if you parse it carefully you will, I think, be hard pressed to find any falsehood or misstatement about X in it.
