LOL, you've got a real load of false ego today, don't you?
You're certainly good at making judgements based on nothing and
trying to make yourself look like you want to.

I don't intend to refute your illogicals and misinformation (due
to your method of application, not that it's 100% wrong), so you
can relax; I see no point in warring with an unarmed enemy.

Respond if you wish; I'm done with you.
