Well, I tried coming back for a couple of days to see if the situation
had improved, and it obviously hasn't.

The facts are very simple:  Dave and I (and others) disagree with the
hypothesise that central Torsens inevitably - irrespective of chassis -
produce certain behaviour.  We have good reasons for disagreeing - both
of us own cars that do not exhibit this behaviour.

And yet each time we record this fact, we're subject to personal abuse
from people who - in the very posts they write - clearly show they
haven't even read what was written.  It's obvious from Dave's post,
for instance, that he was _NOT_ competing and that he was _NOT_ in a
public place.

I cannot see a reason for this disrespect for the truth.  It seems that
absolutely everything either of us post is deliberately twisted or
ridiculed.

I'm sick of it.  Unsubscribed again.
