James Kuyper has been posting here for decades, and has helped 
many hundreds, or more likely thousands, of C programmers to 
better understand the C language. A genuine language expert, he 
deserves to be treated better than to be called an arrogant 
idiot, especially when the abuser has no discernible track record 
of having ever helped anyone with high quality C advice.

That may be because "Muttley" doesn't seem even to know what the 
C language /is/.
