You are being both rude and foolish.

Nick's Lickspittle speaks! LMAO

With his characteristic "snip and sneer" method, Briarroot has a
record of distorting other people's posts at rec.games.chess.misc,
and he has done that again here.

Briarroot has *distorted* Mark Houlsby's post by snipping it out of
context to make it appear--falsely--that Mark Houlsby originally
wrote to Briarroot: "You are being both rude and foolish."

In fact, Mark Houlsby's original post (to which Briarroot was
"responding") makes it clear that John Macnab originally wrote
(3 May 2003) to Briarroot: "You are being both rude and foolish."

So whom was Briarroot attacking when he wrote, "Nick's Lickspittle
speaks!", Mark Houlsby or John Macnab?
