John Larkin really is ignorant, and I call him on it a lot, and he 
resents it (he should try to get less ignorant, but vanity prevents him 
from recognising how ignorant he is).

I was twitting Jeff Layman for being less precise than he might have 
been - he clearly isn't ignorant - but John Larkin has once again 
projected his own resentment.
