Yes - my list is for the _academic_ study of the Brittonic languages -
not for immature, ill-informed speculation on non-Celtic languages
(I mean, the fact that you would use late Latin loans in Irish to
prove that there was a Nordwestblock substrate in Ireland is about as
stupid as you could get - yet when you were confronted with this fact
you remained obstinate about it). If I thought you were genuinely
interested in a two-way exchange of ideas I would have allowed you to
stay on the list, but knowing you and your tendencies to engage in
monologues and beat dead horses ad nauseum I decided to spare my list
a flurry of ridiculous spam from you.

It is laughable that you would suggest I "ran out of arguments"! I
could have argued for days - weeks - months with you, critiquing and
refuting every one of your idiotic points - but why should I bother??
I don't have the time or patience to bother with a troll like you.
