Obviously you are accusing Toby Bartels and me of having insulted you.
Above you claim, Anthere is "fighting against things I have not said".
Ironically this is exactly your problem:

- Nobody on this mailing list has insulted you
- Nobody said, that he would agree with you, if you just would
characterise the situation in another way

Why can't you just think about what other people try to tell you? A
good start would be to stop calling your opponents vandals. Instead of
responding to the criticism you keep thinking, that everyone with another
opinion is hating or insulting you. It is really very, very difficult
to have a fruitful discussion in this way.

I hope, you will be able to read the messages again and take them as
advice and not as insult.
