A response so misguided that it'd make me think you were illiterate if you weren't so obviously disingenuous

Of course I'm disingenuous. I can't figure out why you're still responding to me when I am being so obvious :)

I guess the foolish belief that you'd eventually develop some kind of self-respect

No, I don't think you can help yourself. You have to get the last word in and you have to ensure it's an insult. At this point you are emotionally compromised, you can't stop yourself. I'm sorry for breaking you.

Entirely a projection

"No, I don't think you can help yourself. You have to get the last word in and you have to ensure it's an insult. At this point you are emotionally compromised, you can't stop yourself"

I think I've proven my point. I'll call the game now. All the best:)

It really doesn't have to be nasty at all.
