   I think it's a nice irony that you, a demonstrably pedantic, censorial   
   control freak, have had a book published about free speech. I said so. That   
   doesn't constitute 'still sitting around talking about you'. You do get   
   mentioned from time to time because of the many ironies and contradictions   
   that follow pedantic, censorial control freaks wherever they roam.
