I'll give you this mate: I think you've got about 20 IQ points on Shandor. Not that it's doing you a whole mess of good right now, but hey. I was a fucking moron on PD.com for my first year and a half. Now I'm only a minor nincompoop.

It's one thing to call someone an idiot; it's another to dismantle their arguments.

That is correct. I assure you that most people here are quite aware of the difference, and have made a conscientious decision to do the former.

The latter is more work and tends to have the same end result as the former. Especially if they are an idiot.

Who's more of an idiot? The idiot, or the idiot who argues with the idiot?

Oh, nevermind, apparently the answer is me.

I appreciate the compliment, though. I think.

Maybe I should take up trolling.

That's exactly the kind of thing a person who can't back up their position would say.

Sometimes I wish the REAL Diogenes (of Sinope) was here to make fart noises or something, anything really would be an improvement over the surplus of fugazi Diogenes currently in overststock.
