Probably a vain request, but could you cite examples 
of this beratement?

I can produce quite a few example of you attributing
attitudes to others without factual basis (does "ignorance 
is an asset" ring a bell?)

You have more than once claimed that I "berated" you 
when in fact I had no recollection of having done so and
could find no evidence that I had done so without
realizing it (in my sleep, for example). 

It all comes down, I think, to citing specifics
instead of trafficking in sweeping generalities.
We're paid to know and appreciate the difference.
