see, once again, "deliberately" is one of the adjectives that are being
disputed.

you can CLAIM all you want that everything about google's actions were
deliberate. but claims mean absolutely nothing when you continually fail
to provide any actual PROOF.

actually, i've addressed every single damn point that anyone has        
brought up SEVERAL TIMES OVER.                                          

the trouble is that it's a cyclic tag team match - as soon as one point
has been addressed someone else switches tack and jumps back to some
previous point that has already been addressed. over and over again.

please. either admit that your arguments don't hold up to scrutiny or
come up with something new.

no, on second thoughts, don't.  ICBF. i've done enough beating my head
against brick walls.  it serves no useful purpose.


(of course, no doubt, in a few days time one of you will refer to the
disputed facts as if they're settled and resolved beyond any doubt.
which is exactly what triggered this current round of the google wifi
hypefest)

and lying too.  but that's an essential part of playing dumb.

no, it's the final response of someone who is sick to death of repeating
variations of the same damn answers over and over again to people who
refuse to even listen, let alone think about them.

it's not that i haven't explained things clearly enough to be
understood. it's that there is an active, wilful, stubborn refusal to
understand. such stubborn ignorance is an impossible defence to breach.

feel free to wallow in your ignorance.  i hope you enjoy it.
