Growing up in Maryland and eating lots of blue crab does not automatically
confer any knowledge of wine, crab-louse. The question was about wine, and
your tastes are most decidedly NOT those of the general public. Why should
people assume that the OP's guests had tastes which were as off-kilter as
yours?

Yah-shure-what-the-****-ever. Nobody cares now. That's why I didn't mention
you specifically in what I wrote previously.

Did you THINK before you wrote that last sentence? How do you assume that if
someone expresses no opinion, then his or her opinion must agree with yours?
That's stupid. Do you also assume that undecided voters are all going to
vote for the same candidate you favor?

Let's just re-word that more appropriately: Your bizarre and alcohol-centric
tastes differed from those better-informed people who posted the opinions of
acknowledged wine experts, and for some inane reason you took that
personally.

Maybe you meant to say that you are a ****ing idiot who is unable to
recognize the validity of the opinions of others.

Thank you for openly applauding my superiority. You may go now.
