My comment to Mike was not smarmy...and he answered it with respect and dignity.  You burst in by calling me names, and you went downhill from there quickly, hurling false accusations, and worse.  Let's see..."intellectually dishonest," "deceitful," "obtuse"...these spring to mind immediately.   And you continue the falsehoods even now...I attempted nothing of the kind...but when presented with your vicious attacks, I will attempt to defend myself. 

Abrasive?  No.  Your remarks are nasty, false and mean.  And you don't call me out on anything...you merely attack.

My offer was given in good faith. You threw it back in my face.  Whether others here typically agree with me or not, the truth is right here.

I'm not the one with nerve...You are.
