[FTAOD, what follows is addressed to Joel]  

Excuse me, I wasn't talking high and mighty about you as a Linux user
even though I happen to prefer macOS; I was criticising your behaviour
as a Usenet user.

Please!  Upon what grounds do you impute my sex, you person of
distinctly ambiguous gender?  That is completely irrelevant, merely
gratuitously offensive.

In what way does my fondness for my antediluvian News reader 
make me inferior, if you please?

In my strictly personal view:  you, Mr "Internet Presence" are plainly 
and simply a risible poseur.  You are a habitual hijacker of technical
threads in a technical newsgroup for self-aggrandisement and promotion
of your own alternative sexual practices.  You have a greatly overblown,
hubristic, opinion of your own worth and you're downright pompous.

Apart from that, you're a jolly fine fellow, well done.  

I've said my piece, now please feel free to have the last word.
