Hmm. I see lots of people down there wrestling in the mud with Buck.

You’re not going to convince him of anything. His sole goal here is to rile you up by poking the thread with a flame comment and then spend the next couple of hours dodging and goal-post shifting before laughing and going on his merry way.

It’s a game to him, and you’re playing along. If that is your goal as well, enjoy it. I will just head upthread and leave you to it.
