   The old wittier-than-thou ploy utterly fails to put a tent in my   
   trousers. If you feel one must be funny in order to meet your social   
   and cultural criterion for inclusion in your exquisite circle-jerk,   
   well I have news for you.

   I would say it does annoy you greatly, and to a degree that is exactly   
   appropriate to the situation.

   As long as I keep repeating the same words and phrases it will be   
   true. We have no need to entertain further discussion on that plane.   
   Much more important is an inqury into your unwillingness (some say,   
   inability) to affect civilized relations with your gross intellectual   
   superiors.

   I'd say that your pathalogical need to hold a gun to your auduence   
   (lest they look elsewhere for their input) channels indicates the   
   direction you should consider when you conduct due dilligence   
   inquiries to your own position and aims. This would involve   
   reasoning, though, and it is already a matter of public record that   
   you find reason inconvenient when it risks your position at the   
   trough.

   Another round? That would probably be best for all concerned at this   
   point.

   Unwilling and unable to be reasonably intelligent? I fail to see   
   where my risk comes from in that regard.
