   Is English not your native language?  She didn't accuse you   
   of being coy; she said that didn't adequately explain what   
   you meant by 'resist skillfully enough'.  Being coy about   
   something and being coy are two very different things.   
   What's more, I strongly suspect that you know this and are   
   being deliberately dishonest.

   Irrelevant, since she didn't say that you were.  You *were*,   
   however, being coy about the meaning of 'resist skillfully   
   enough', which is not in the least transparent.

   You've rarely 'contributed' more than snide one-liners, but   
   this takes the cake: you really are a nasty piece of work.
