Anything to avoid answering Yiri's questions.  That seems to be the rule here.
No wonder he has to resort to "getting nasty".  When you treat what someone
says like garbage, when you ignore what he has to say, when you don't answer
his questions, HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO REACT?????  (Yes, I speak from
experience, here.)

Either provide reasonable counterevidence to what Yiri says or admit that,
yes, he just might be right.  Or would that be too much to ask?  (Rhetorical
question if ever there was one...)
