I did not try to insult you. I did try to point out to you that
making accusations about Unicode "distorting" "your" definitions was
inappropriate.

Incorrect. I challenged you to back up your accusation with facts,
and you refused to do so. Others did so, and since you did not, I
informed the forum that I would deal with the "accusations" when I
had leisure to do so.

I will get to it when I can. I am currently involved doing something else.

Good gods, man, you asked Suzanne whether she had started out as an
English major. If that isn't condescending and insulting, well, I
can't imagine what it was.

Try asking them civilly.

That may well be the case. Her attempts to "equate" Gurmukhi with
Ethiopic are indeed puzzling.

Try not to do so ad feminam.
