This is at least the third time you’ve called me an imbecile on this list, though the first time you’ve spelled it 
correctly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbecile <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbecile>

Since I don’t meet any of the technical or scientific definitions previously used for the term, I can only assume that 
you intend it in its vernacular meaning as a derogatory remark which amounts to ad hominem attacks prohibited by list 
policy.

Unless it is your goal to be moderated and/or removed from the list, I suggest you stick to arguing the merits (or 
rather lack thereof) of your position and cease the ad hominem attacks.
