...you've made several posts referring to me as dumb. Couldn't you have come up with something a little better? I mean, really. You could have called me closed-minded, self-centered, arrogant, pompous, ritualistically abusive to crazy people, or even guilty of corrupting the youth of Athens and it would have sounded at least mildly plausible, however little you know me. Insulting people is an art, you have to understand. If you don't pick something plausible, you'll end up looking like a fool. There are a lot of important things I'm completely ignorant of but in no way am I dumb. George W. Bush, on the other hand, could possibly be called dumb. Perhaps that's what you inferred from my paper which you so elegantly referenced. So, I could agree with how you compared yourself to GWB and you would probably pick up on the innuendo, but that would be pretty low of me, so I'll just keep quiet about it.
