The "Ha!" that I wrote was contempt for smaw's hypocrisy in this case. Resorting to personal insults and then telling you to be the better man. I don't specifically agree with you in this but I understand your position in this as I am well acquainted with the experience of being alone in such a debate. (I don't disagree with you either - you are intelligent enough and you obviously have your reasons - it's just not something that I have picked up on myself.)
Ah, gotcha. Forgive me for misunderstanding.
