  As usual, a good work demonstrated by humility. It is not unsual for people to criticize for the seek of it. For the very few who have attempted to discourage you, they rather you do a public relations propaganda for the political parties that they allign themselves.Sadly, that is not your way.Instead, you choose the path of one of the most important means of integration,-language. Don't let them discourage you. Keep then coming.

  I am very sorry I ventured onto your sacred grammatical territory by contributing to what I thought was a simple discussion of a very difficult and complicated subject called English Grammar.
  
  The defensive nature of the alleged replies to my humble contribution -- provided in good faith -- indicates to me that there is probably more going on in your exercise than meets the eye. Certainly, there is some artificially-constructed outrage in the alleged replies to my contribution, to say nothing of the obfuscation you have created.
  
  Listen: I had no intention of deflating your ego. Of what use would that be to me?
  
  Again, sorry. I shall never make the mistake of thinking that everyone who wants to teach others, would be ready to receive ideas from others, in the spirit of teach-and-learn -- which is the principle behind education.

  You are most welcome dear Blorfonyo. Permit me to add that neither I nor those who responded to your comments have any ego to be deflated. We are simply advocates of grammatical proficiency and decency.Our humility is structured on the educational philosophy that "to teach is to learn twice." In the context of this philosophy, we do not think that "the defensive nature of the alleged replies to your humble contribution" offends any person. We only reminded you of the need to respect the academic norms of justification of claims, addition of value to intellectual works, avoidance of exclusivist assertions, respect for divergent views, and readiness to enjoy criticisms but to accept counter-criticisms. We believe that your comments and ours have enhanced the discourse under review. Therefore, we still regard you as a member of the learning community provided you are ready to give and take.

  A very excellent response to Blofornyo's self-righteous apology and hypocrisy! I have nothing more to add.

  Dr SAS, I remain thankful and humbled. Your words - much or few - have always been informative and educative. Stay blessed.

  Mr Blofornyo, you could have apologised without being Self righteous. Your self-righteous apology only exposes your hidden intent to mount a calumnious challenge of the Prof. For you, we can clearly tell there is more going on in your comments than meets the eye. it is not even a probability. A critics of all is an achiever of non. You should come better next time, and come constructive next time. The industry of knowledge does not tolerate people who comment in the spirit of selfpromotion and disrespect of intellectualism.

  Thanks, Mr. Reader, for your dedense of intellectualism. In fact, your comment raises a critical requirement of the Learning Community: knowledge is best constructed and shared in a spirit devoid of self-aggrandisement, self-righteousness, and unilateralism. Stay blessed.

  Blorfonyo: In the realm of "robust"
  discussions, a "scalding defence" is NOT an offence, but an attempt to "descale skinpain confusion and obfuscation"!!
