What facts? All you offer are assertions without proof -- 'your
implementation is wrong, mine is better'.  Had you said, 'your
implementation does X when it should do Y', then an actual discussion
can be held.  I think most everyone has been incredibly restrained
when dealing with you (and wasting a lot of everyone's time in the
process).
