You took what I wrote out of context -- you ignored everything in that
paragraph except the words "female heritage" and from that you decided
I must be writing about genetics.  Very sloppy thinking, dear.

>Notwithstanding what you "meant," 

No, not withstanding anything, tad.  The relevant issue here is what I
meant and it was very clear from what I wrote that I was -NOT- discuss-
ing genetics or biological inheritance.  You fucked up, tad.

>give, perhaps important people, the idea that you are the one who deceives.

Oh ho!!!  IMPORTANT PEOPLE!!  And who might that be, hmmmm?  Or are you
now going to tell -me- that I might not get some really fab job in the
Computer Industry because I flamed you?  We've seen you do this before,
tad, this kind of deceitful threat is one of your very favorite tricks 
especially when your back is against the wall the way it is right now.

As opposed to making things up the way you did?  Yes, dear, I think it's 
a good idea, otherwise you just make yourself look even more stupid than 
you really are.
