So, you've got the nerve to say that I "insulted" someone, when
you're insulting people as well? 

Anyway it differs in so far, as what I wrote wasn't meant
as a insult, but what Michael wrote WAS meant as a insult,
as you cas see.

You were not disappointed, because your trolling resulted in a
lengthy thread? You're really a cool person. A great person to
know. And all the help that you provide: Fantastic!

To quote from your personal mail directed against me:

        [...] I invite you politely to fuck off.

But that's of course not an insult, is it?
