Re: [PATCH] Revert Abortion joke removal.


I'm sorry, Torvald, but there's nothing of substance in this message of
yours that I haven't already just responded in other messages, so I'll
just refer you to the other responses.

If there's any answer you're still missing after reading my other
replies, please bring it back in a smaller message and let's go from
there, shall we?

The reason for me to suggest this is that, as much as I remember, you
and I have never been able to convince each other of anything, really,
and our debates have tended to degenerate into nit-picking and
distractions as each party saught a "win" over the other in some
irrelevant point, while relegating the relevant matter to the side.

I don't want to subject others to such drivel from both of us, and I
don't want to subject myself to it either.  I've long concluded it's
waste of time for both of us, and I have no reason to expect this to be
different.  We just have explosive chemistry when at opposite sides of
an argument, so I'll cut our direct interaction down to a minimum.


>> I didn't mean that, so your uncertain gratitute is indeed misplaced.

> See, you don't like slightly snarky comments either.

I think we've miscommunicated.  I didn't have any issue whatsoever about
the comment, it just carried an incorrect assumption.  I corrected that
incorrect assumption, for the record (as we often do to each other), and
then proceeded to agree that the raised issue was quite relevant indeed.

I can't imagine how you concluded from this that I didn't like it,
specifically, or in general.
