I tried, I really did.
I’m not going to cast aspersions on mr Marvin, but I’d hoped he would engage me.

As it was, I counterpointed his points, he said he’d respond, and days later, hasn’t. So, I can only assume that he’s created a fact proof screen and will not be swayed form his version of the truth, no matter how insupportible it is. Pity, he’s not a bad guy.
