Careful, or soon you'll be saying things like the following:
Well, a syphilitic goat would probably make a better sex partner than you.

I pointed out this was an inappropriate personal attack. Person A disagreed and said the comparsion was legit.
I compared Person A to a syphilitc goat to show that in fact comparing a person to a syphilitic goat is a personal attack.
I regret the way I made the point and stayed away from the community for a long time after it. But the point was still valid. Comparing a human being to a syphilitic goat is an inappropriate personal attack.
I'll unconditionally apologize for comparing you to Keyes. Will you acknowledge you said nothing of substance to rebut the points I made about small states opposing an amendment to eliminate the EC?

No.
Because I did say something of substance, in an oblique fashion, and they help refute you quite well, IMHO.

Anyway, I accept your apology. Sad to think that's the sort of thing you consider to be a witty rejoinder these days. Nine months ago, you made a hell of a lot more sense.
