    Oh yes, the "you disagree with me and are therefore insane" gambit ...

    Oh, no. You're insane. And I disagree with you. If anything the inference is the other way around. I've pointed out why I disagree with you, but you're insane, and continue blithely drawing stick figures and buttercups.

    Cheers,
