>>what I got….was simply a kick in the stomache, a bop on the head, and was effectively called a liar >>The attack was direct and frontal. >>I was simply attacked (truly–go back and look) >>it was a response simply designed to attack and humiliate. >>an obtuse, destructive, antagonistic counter to a problem being solved or a question. >>I was immediately slammed, inferred that I was a liar, challenged that perhaps I lacked a basic grasp of math, and in an intellectual sense: beaten up. >>What I receoved was an unprompted, uncalled for, and inappropriate attack. >>I certainly did nothing to prompt this outrageous reply.
