Ah, you're getting the baptism of fire, here, Tony. Gary is his real
name, this chap is called, I believe, Schneider. Hadron, Gary, and
their ilk will do anything to trawl you into an argument. They are
profoundly dishonest.

tony - please, killfile these idiots, you will /never/ get a reasonable
response from them - they're here to annoy you until you react
unreasonably, and then will shout about it forever. You will not meet a

There may be comparable ones, but there're none worse.
