Your first post referencing him was 12/5/2007. Your first post insulting him was 12/9/2007, based on a misreading of his quote and a request by him for clarification. He responded by leaving the thread.

Your next post insulting him was 2/6/2008. He responded with graciousness.

Your next post insulting him was 4/4/2008, in a thread where you claimed that hair dryers have only one heat setting, and he called you on it. Before he responded, others called you deliberately provocative in the thread.

The post where you say "Replies are now in a tone that you understand - personal attack" occurred on 6/15/2008, a little more than three months ago, after he demanded that you offer proof of your claim that Merc lied about his service record.

A review of all these posts, and the threads that led to them, show fairly clearly that c-man generally demands that you unemotionally back up your claims or offer further explanation, or respond to the original question, and you generally respond by questioning his and others' intelligence.
