Oh dear. That looks like poison to me from Mr Toast. Just turn the other cheek, Andrew (no pun intended).
Proverbs 26.5, answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
And as an example of not swallowing poison out of politeness but dashing it into the oblivion where it belongs, tis dashed into the oblivion where it belongs. And also, answering a fool as to his folly.
