Right...
But if BUK claims that sundial stopped because of him and that I stayed because I tolerate his behavior, it's equally unfunded.
Sometimes bad arguments are best countered by mirroring them.

No, he claimed that he saw through SunnyD before anyone else. I agree with that claim.
As a long time student of the fascinating SunnyD-Buk relationship, I'd say that SunnyD certainly did not stop coming here because of Buk --
on the contrary, SunnyD adored the attention so lovingly lavished on him by his "esteemed colleague" Buk, as indicated below:
- Re: Perl/Tk code structure: "Agreeing fully with BrowserUK's previous comments on this"
- Re: What's Wrong with program: "such ideas having already been given to you, and in great detail by experts such as BrowserUK"
