I don't know for sure what Mr. R's frame of mind might be but, were he to
be feeling a case of mild to moderate vexation it would be easy to
understand. Trying to have a discussion with folks who completely disregard
the established facts in a case and substitute there own unsubstantiated,
made up scenario created seemingly concocted from whole cloth and the
sugarplums that dance in their heads would try anyone's patience. A few
earthy expletives hardly seem out of place.
