I realize that for some lonely people, arguing with strangers on the Internet can be a means to fill an otherwise empty existence, as they imagine that their words confer an importance or significance upon themselves that they lack in real life. And as sympathetic as I am to their plight, I'm not at all inclined to entertain those afflicted, as doing so seems to only encourage them and thus prolong the correspondence. So please forgive me if I ignore your inevitable future attempts at gaining my attention. My interest and my patience have expired.
