Dear Abdullah,

Speaking as a moderator, I have to ask you to stop this kind of
unprovoked and unfair personal rant. Why you should drag Richard or me
into it, or feel persecuted by us, is beyond my power of understanding.
Neither of us has said anything about the etymology you quoted (which,
by the way, is _not_ nonsense, if you're interested in my opinion) or
expressed his support for either side in this argument. Please calm
down. The worst crime Marius has committed so far was his single use of
the word "nonsense", which, derogatory as it is, doesn't qualify as a
mortal affront, let alone "savage bestiality".
