It was the person who slandered attorneys who was anonymous, not you.
When I said you "responded in kind" I meant that you made a blanket
statement about historians, putting "professional" in quotes and making
a dig about 'PC.'
As you say, though, you've been on the list longer than I and perhaps
others know where you're coming from and I don't. No worries.
