You must be kidding.

You must be trolling.

Again, just for you:

There is no point in simply reiterating what you have already posted.
You did not understand what I originally posted, continuing to
misunderstand it doesn't make you right.

Sadly, you miss the point again.

No, I disagree with your view of what you think I said. I pointed out
that there are different views on what is white space. The OP has his
own view and has been given precise information about what ECMAScript
defines as white space. He is now in a position to decide whether to
use that or define his own set of characters.

If you would be reasonable, you would see that an apology from you is in
order now.

I don't need to apologise for your attempt at one-upmanship. If you
look at other posts in this thread (in particular those by Richard and
Lasse) you'd realise that it's possible to make valuable contributions
without attempting to score points.

Score adjusted

Whatever.
