     What a beautifully covert ad hom, Dawn! My compliments on the way you make disagreeing with you seem somehow rude and impolite without actually saying it. That way you can stifle debate while appearing to be oh-so-reasonable. Truly, you have this technique worked out very well. It is part of why I finally have called you on your behaviour.

Sincerely,
