You're right, you've "gotten up my nostril". I don't like being maliciously misquoted. I don't like being patronized by someone who is in no way my superior. I don't like people who distort religion to support secular political agendas. I don't like having the unimaginably pompous and self-important accuse me and others of such things. And when people do those things, I'm likely to react angrily. I don't use killfiles, because I guess there's some theoretical sense that, say, Gary might say something that is interesting, however low the odds are. But I probably would be better off doing so.
