  Because you have made your dislike for me the core your responses to me.
  Remember, _you_ invited people to take part in a popularity contest with
  the clear aim of defeating me through misrepresentation of what I said.
  Such behavior pisses me off tremendously.  I merely followed up on that
  because it would be a _disaster_ if you won.

  Yes.  You, for one.  Those who want to vote with their wallet to remove a
  cancer from the Common Lisp community.

  Er, _what_ was it that I should realize in that garbled sentence?

  If something still remains a mystery to you, talk to your colleagues.
  Several of them got the point quite early, while you keep _not_ getting
  it on purpose, or so it seems.
