The "ANS Bashing" title did not appear on a reply to your questions.
Your questions were answered calmly, respectfully, and thoughtfully.

The "ANS Bashing" title was applied to your flat denial of all points
of the reply, in which you attempted to use the answers to your questions
as "proof" that the standard is seriously flawed, and claimed (incorrectly)
that one of the solutions presented does not work.  This claim was not
posed as a request for clarification, but as a statement.
