No, it's not you.

Mr. Thom thoroughly obscures the fact that he has an occasional 
valid point to make by frequently hurling foul-smelling, flaming 
troll turds at anyone who dares to voice disagreement with him (or 
even anyone who in any other way presents an attractive target).

Many list subscribers have long since permanently ignored him. Most 
folks are tolerant of differing opinions, and even of having their 
own assumptions challenged, but not tolerant of name calling and 
other forms of cheap demagogy which really have no place in the 
formulation of a cogent rational argument.

As have writ others before me... please do not feed the troll.
