Is it your contention that the words "Kevin Darcy is a genius" accompanied by
the double quotes shown, and followed by a period, forms a question?

No, just in your usual confused daze, probably.

Relevance?

I didn't know the victim was a victim when I made my post, Keith, and I have
apologized for the mistake. Don't you feel a little low constantly dredging
up something that's been apologized for, and potentially causing the very
"victim" you think you're helping to relive their nightmare?

I suggest the subject be dropped. I suggest that the whole flamewar shouldn't
have occurred in the first place, actually, but I'm willing to just put it
to rest from this point forward.

So, where are the brags or threats? Is Mark Whatshisname such a sensitive
milquetoast that he felt intimidated or threatened by that?

You are adding stipulations that weren't contained in the original question,
Keith.  Backpedal. Squirm. Whassamatter? Can't you answer it as is?
