Stop poking fun at me and treating me as an imbecile. Of course you know
that I know that this script was actually used. The question is, is it a
separate script, or is it a set of variant glyphs for what should be a
unified 22 character Semitic script (although currently known as
Hebrew)? This question of unification or disunification needs to be
argued carefully. Your failure to argue, merely to assert that you are
correct and to poke fun at your opponents, just makes you look stupid
and makes the UTC more likely to reject your proposal.
