Maybe the fact that neither one of you two can STFU??? I mean seriously!
The both of you need to go do that! If you got something constructive to
say, say it. But this constant and childish "You shut up" "no you shut up"
"no you shut up" "you are a liar" "no you are a liar" "no you are" "no you
are" back and forth between the two of you is really just stupid.

If you don't have something useful to say, just don't say anything. Is
that really so hard? Or at least take your childish games to e-mail.
