   Wrong, dipshit. You make an ASSUMPTION as to HOW I used the term    
   Slackware, and you were wrong. When I say Slackware, I mean a release    
   version of Slackware (most likely 15.0). If I wanted to reference    
   -current, I would say that.

   Strike two. Not goalpost moving, just trying to clarify your usage of    
   vague terms. But you don't want to clarify that, because then your    
   "argument" fails.
