Disingenuous as you intended to, and continue it.

Reverse projection, fabrication.

So sarcasm isn't rude, but my calling it out is rude.  Calling me
unprofessional after I pointed out my post was professional.  Calling me
a hypocrite.  More reverse projection.

False assumption plus backhanded insults.

Disingenuous.

Normally I would have simply ignored your baseless rude remarks.  But
you made a personal attack out of your reply.  Drawing you out a little
more has clearly demonstrated to everyone who and what you are, so my
job is done, so to speak.  Feel free to have the last word, including
any/all additional baseless insults you wish.

P.S. be sure in the future to tell Wietse he doesn't know the answer
every time he prompts a poster to follow the list instructions. :)
