You might notice I;m not rude to more than a select few and they,
quite literally, ask for it.

Find a dictionary. Look up the definition of "literally". It doesn't
mean what you think it means.


Oh it means exactly what I think it means. And I meant exactly what I
said.

You don't strike me as the sort of person who engages in
self-contempt, though. You are probably just confused by your own
motivations and rationalizations.


Mebbe, but I doubt it. In any case, I'm not rationalising.

I think you made the common mistake of using "literally" when you meant
"figuratively". But maybe you didn't just totally futz that up and can show
me to be pathetically wrong. All you have to do is provide, say, a Google
Groups archive link to a message where some ignoramous posted to
rec.aviation.piloting and literally asked you to be rude to them. Of course
I'll be kind and not ask for proof that you got "literal" requests from
everyone you've been rude to (e.g. "Mxsmanic", Jay Honeck, "Maxwell", and
whoever else you rag on.)
