You’ve accused me of illiteracy twice recently, if I recall correct.  On both occasions, you were attempting to make far-fetched correspondences between fairy lore and elements of the Solar Cycle (which in fact uses fairy lore less than most Wolfe).  When I refused to discuss the Neighbours as if they were literally fairies (because they are different from them in numerous ways), you accused me of illiteracy.  And today, you claimed that the House Absolute is a fairy palace, and accused me of illiteracy when I demurred.

On neither occasion were you able to elaborate your contentions into anything meaningful.  Hence, I suppose, the descent into insults.
