Mundane,

While it may be amusing to you that articles relating to the original ACD stories occasionally crop up over the course of your academic research, they will serve neither your portrayal of me, nor your studies. Don't you have better things to do with your time than read irrelevant articles (which are more than likely full of errors anyway)? I happen to know for a fact that you do.

Do at least try to not be an idiot.

Somehow I doubt he'd be surprised by anything I do, Mr. Holmes. First impressions are wonderful things.

[consultingsociopath]

Tolerance and a lack of surprise are very different things.

[womanwhobeatyou]

The results are similar enough. And isn't it results that matter?

[consultingsociopath]

Always.

But "similar" is not "the same", and the circumstances and rationale which led to those results have relevance also, and are worth noting, so that the difference --and the results-- can be more accurately predicted in the future.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Are you certain you want to be giving me advice, Mr. Holmes?

[consultingsociopath]

I fail to see the harm when it's nothing you couldn't work out for yourself.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Time isn't an advantage now?

[consultingsociopath]

This hasn't been a brief exchange. It would have taken you longer than this?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Just making sure you weren't going easy on me, Mr. Holmes.

[consultingsociopath]

That would imply sentiment.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Implying you don't have feelings now?

[consultingsociopath]

Stating that they're futile and dangerous.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Remind me again why you still have my camera phone?

[consultingsociopath]

Both cameras may have the same image resolution, but the lens on yours is superior.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Let's have dinner then.

[consultingsociopath]

I'm not sure that would advance the boundaries of imaging technology.
