That doesn't justify your position. Stop taking what I say and changing
its meaning. What I said was analogous to 'I don't agree with what you've
said, but I will fight to the death to allow you to say it', even if what
you've said is as stupid as English is a made-up language or I don't exist
or Sumerian doesn't. Except that I probably *wouldn't* fight to the
death for it. But I still don't agree with you, and I've still never said
anything that backs you up. So go away.

be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
