A Glasgow kiss

fpbFor those who are not British, a Glasgow kiss is a head-butt. I just had an experience that compares, metaphorically.
There is a person online with whom I am not often in agreement. In fact, I once or twice asked him why he keeps ascribing me the worst possible reasons any time I make a comment.
This morning I found myself in the unusual position of wholly agreeing with something he had written. What is more, it was an issue on which I had been thinking and writing for a quarter-century, including a long passage in one of the essays of which I am proudest. (And of which I keep hearing the nicest things from people who stumble on it one way or another.)
So I cut out the relevant passage and posted it in his comments section.
He deleted it without reading it.

2) As long as you give no evidence of having actually paid attention to anything I said, that you actually allowed your eyes to rest on it for a short while makes no difference.
