I'm using zoological taxonomy, which includes things like subfamily, tribe, and subspecies. Since Linnean rank doesn't use subspecies, but you continued to insist on using the term, I gave it the appropriate classification context.
You'll have to either stop using the term "subspecies" or you'll have to accept zoological taxonomy, the system which I was using in the discussion. No matter what, though, there are no subspecies of humans, so you were incorrect when you used that term. The funny part was when you tried to change over to "subrace" and hope no one noticed.
