I can annoy like nobody's business.

"Fortiter in re, suaviter in modo - Resolutely in action, gently in manner. (To do unhesitatingly what must be done but accomplishing it as inoffensively as possible)"-- from a reader

Now you know perfectly well that I know perfectly well what "fortiter in re, suaviter in modo" means. I was careful to include a little discussion -- I went seemingly out of my way to do so -- to signal that I was playing "fast and loose" with the Latin. See the last paragraph.

"you are annoying."-- from the same reader

As for being "annoying" I hope that with this additional posting I have not disappointed you. I can annoy like nobody's business.
