If you so insist on continuing this display of folly when it so very evidently was not my original intent, have at it! I shall indulge you in your foolishness.
But I really must question your sanity, fellow. Why do you challenge me when the contest naturally tilts in my favor? A "theme of literal snobbery" you say; perhaps truly so. But regardless of its inherent pretension, you must remember who initiated this skirmish. It was I, indeed! And as such, do you not believe I hold superiority here? Come, tackle me with your seemingly profound (but verily opposite in actuality) library of letters -- for I shall not be tricked. Your efforts are as the vain cries of the defeated; as rubble at the scene of the conquest; as blood of the slaughtered beast.
Fire away once more, and aim for my heart! Nay, reply not -- for regardless, the result will surely, inevitably prove to be one and the same:
I will be the victor, forthwith; and you, the vanquished.
