    Etc...

    I certainly feel such a response was completely un-called for. I
    clearly and sincerely asked a simple question. Does Jeff feel the North
    Vietnamese Govt is legitimate. Jeff has alternately claimed that I
    partake in Dishonest debate, that I violate the principles of good faith
    discussion, that I am not qualified, refuse the discipline, effort,
    responsibility, etc. etc. I also acknowledged that perhaps I was
    incorrectly interpreting what Jeff was saying, and offered him the
    chance to clear the air. Can my actions in my previous email be
    reasonably considered dishonest, not in good faith, or irresponsible?
    Yet I receive this as a response.

    Jeff, at least please spare the list of such absurdity and send any
    further barking to me offlist.
