   That's how I felt on New Year's. I know full well you look at my blog for   
   ammo, but I don't write untruthfully. But you see a man with plenty of joire   
   de vivre can have his black moments. In fact in my experience - and many   
   others - most people with plenty of joie de vivre have a proportionate   
   amount of black moments. So that is the most easy reconciliation I have ever   
   had to perform about my public statements.

   So you're no longer a student of philosophy because you have passed an exam   
   in it? You must be very proud.   
      
    From   
   > what I can see you have precious little joie de vivre.   
      
   And you can't see much, that is very clear. I cannot be blamed because you   
   have no sense of humour.   
      
    What I have a

   Oh I'm often wrong. I haven't been often wrong where you're concerned   
   though, and *that's* what you don't like.   
      
      
   >and flagrant disregard for facts.

   Yes and I refuted you and you never bothered to get onto 'main course' or   
   'afters'.

   Would you like a full retraction of my mistake in mistaking you for an   
   undergraduate? For that is my only misrepresentation. The rest: that you are   
   a utilitarian, bear various grudges - you used the word above - against me   
   is all fair comment.

   So you make an make an argument and then insert a clause that you don't like   
   arguing? You are behaving more and more peevishly, Thomas.

   Then you should not have even begun it.

   Well we agree on something: your insults - if insults they are - are hollow.
