It appears your opinion of what I have to say about Halloween, is that it is worthless. Fair enough. Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

Yet I fail to see the reason you feel compelled to comment on it in such derisory and confrontational manner, whilst complaining of a lack of evidence. Especially considering that you have failed to present anything resembling a supported argument yourself.

Would you care to enlighten me as to a) what, precisely, you take exception to and   b) what, in your opinion, is the reality of the matter?
