With the exception of having applied the "takes one to know one"
principle, you are in no position to deem Noramanaplanacanalpanama
Bamanaplanacanalpanamaron's actions as constituting obsession. It
is not obsession to be tireless in rejecting falsehood and error.

It is a matter of fact, not merely opinion, that your explanations are
rarely "careful and in full detail". Rather, they are typically merely
rehashed (if not simply cut-n-pasted) versions of the same old argument.

As far as ignoring the facts, please present us with some evidence
(i.e., quoted excerpts of articles on sci.math) of this. Your track
record regarding facts is about as reliable as your track record
regarding mathematics (i.e., it's poor).

        "No matter how detailed"

is not an indication that your articles were either correct or to the
point. Please show us a set of excerpts that show that NoradamImada
BadamImadaron, er, Andrzej Zdrzlvlxmjzrnmphlk, replied inappropriately
to articles of yours where you turned out to have been correct.

Did either NorablewasIereIsawel Baron, or Andrzei Kzlmzjrjwlrkmkskx,
ever state his or her gender? If not, how does this have anything to
do with lying? As I recall, the first time I responded to an article
of yours, you accused me of having some gender flaw.

This is stupid. Your so-called "major conclusions" are typically in
error. Face it. As far as the "sex" thing, absent any explicit statement
claiming a gender, no one's gender can be assumed, especially on-line.

On the math count, you're simply incorrect. As far as your claims that
Norabcdefg Bgfedcbaron has lied about his/her/its gender, well, that's
your hang-up. I saw no claims one way or another, and think you've got
a bug up yer wazoo about this.

Maybe you're a serial doofus.
