I replied to you because, while an unsupported claim is regrettable, an unsupported denial takes you all the way into "Is too! Is not!" 5-year-old-style argument. iak8god started down that road; your reply went further down it.

Yes. I want you to try to be better than the person you're replying to, rather than trying to be at least as bad.
