I think so, otherwise I would not have posted. It was not gratuitous.

Actually, John, I don't think that you do. My position is this: it
is clear that Jeroen's complaining will not win him any arguments,
and yet he continues to complain about slights and perceived slights
on his character. The ONLY thing that his complaining is going to
get him, at least from me, is sympathy and commiseration. Everytime
he posts complaints similar to the ones that started this thread,
Jeroen will receive no arguments from me, no insults, only sympathy
and commiseration. If he protests that he does not want sympathy, I
will take it as a sign that he needs more attention and sympathy. If he
really does not need it, then that will be clearly demonstrated when his
complaints cease.

I'm sorry if this bothers you, John. Maybe you would like to ignore
posts from me, or perhaps start another thread that carries more
interest for you.
