without context looks like only hostile abuse,

If you want context, look back at 10 years of sundialsvc4 repeatedly ignoring detailed and comprehensive disabusal of his regurgitated pet themes, and then feeding off superficially non-negative comments like yours, to renew his faith that he has something worth saying to say.

Whilst he never seems to tire of trotting out the same'ol thoroughly and repeatedly discredited garbage, the rest of us tire of repeatedly disabusing it. If even marto, one of the most even-tempered, even-handed and tolerant of those here, occasionally shows his frustration at the patience-sapping, energy-sucking, limit-testing stream of sewage that flows from the sundial; his occasional, mild frustration is entirely understandable in that long-term wider context.

Your encouragement of it -- intentional or otherwise -- is not. You seem to be aware of the re-metastasized carcinogen that is the sundial, but not that it only takes one hint of encouragement -- which means anything that is not directly and explicitly and unequivocally negative -- to end remission and force the need for another round of tiresome, frustrating and will-sapping chemotherapy.

When it comes to feeding the troll-of-trolls; you're doing a fine job.
