The guy misread a Wikipedia page and you're "beyond offended" and call that "arrogant"? > "so you're still not close" I'm "still" not close? Still not close .

  > "beyond offended" Who exactly are you quoting here? My comment doesn't contain that phrase. > The guy misread a Wikipedia page I don't know how it's possible to "misread" a wiki that's all of 500 words and has things like this: > He made fundamental contributions to combinatorics, number theory, numerical analysis and probability theory. > There are three prizes named after Pólya, > Stanford University has a Polya Hall named in his honor. Except in so far as he was temporarily blinded by arrogance. > I'm "still" not close? Still not close ... to what? Still not close to any semblance of a convincing rebuke.

    I am not exactly quoting anyone. So now that's settled, you can't use that as a dodge to get out of responding to the point. > "I don't know how it's possible to "misread" a wiki" Great, thanks for your informative contributions. Don't forget to be offended and accuse someone of ignorance and arrogance just because you don't understand. That's useful. > "Still not close to any semblance of a convincing rebuke" His death was still so long ago that more than half the population of Earth wasn't even born at the time.

      > I am not exactly quoting anyone. conventionally (but you're free to diverge of course) double quotes, like in > "beyond offended" are for quoting someone/something.

        I'm being unconventional. So now that's settled, you can't use that as a dodge to get out of responding to the point.
