I love how some people think they somehow magically have the authority to just state something as a fact and that statement in itself is enough to end the discussion.

But what would I expect from someone who chose "the Great" as appropriate to describe himself?

[Is that too much? Am I at risk for being too uh, "direct" to an admin here?]

So, yes, I'll welcome a discussion about the substance but this "You're wrong because I say so, and I won't bother really engaging with the likes of you" innuendo doesn't give me a lot to work with.

Yes, that was a polemic; I was throwing caution to the wind that week and writing in a style that entertained me as much as informed the reader.

You're right, I'm not engaging well in this thread; my problem is that i m seeing the same nonsense arguments from two or three years ago, and i jut don't have the energy to repeat myself.

So I really should have dropped this discussion a while back.
