No you are not losing your mind but the Liberty Lunger is woefully lacking in reading comprehension. I do not believe he has understood one thing you said nor even why you said it. Talking to him is like talking to an early-day, really dyed-in-the-wool, fanatical member of the Women's Lib movement; everything was of a part, their part, and nothing you said was taken into consideration nor even heard if it did not CONFORM to the then current mantra.

I only use this example because I had a friend in Alaska who almost drove me nutz with her incessant argumentative approach to almost everything I would say to her. I never knew what I was going to say to her that was going to set her off again on "the Subject" but I knew it was going to be something, real or imaginary. I finally stopped speaking to her at all. By this I mean I would not speak to her on any pretext; not even to answer her if she said, "Good morning"; and I rather came to enjoy her discomfort and irritation. It was amusing, I suppose, because everyone who knew the both of us seemed to view the situation that way; however, I found it and her irritating beyond all reason.

I also knew an ACLU lawyer who was almost as bad an example but he was easier to avoid than she was.
