No, you don't get to offer being civil in exchange for anything.  I 
called you out for your blatant rudeness and attitude that you're 
entitled to anything.  That doesn't change.  You were (and are) rude, and 
you are not entitled to anything from anyone here.

And you certainly don't get to hold civility hostage *because* you got 
called out for being rude and acting like you were owed *anything*.

Your insinuation that I was lying about my involvement in the project 
based on your total lack of comprehension as to how NNTP works is 
completely separate from your attitude in this entire discussion, that 
Chris & Co somehow "owe" you something, that you're "entitled" to 
explanations, and your general rudeness.

You owe Chris an apology as well for your rudeness.  I simply called you 
out for it, and I will not apologize nor stand down from that position.  
(How's that for "being direct"?  See?  It can be done without being 
blatantly rude.)

As for the "*plonk*" - I've filtered your posts so I only see them if I 
decide I want to even deal with you.

Back to the filter you go.
