You tried to disprove my point about Williams always having been an intellectual lightweight by saying he came out in favor of Thomas twenty years ago as if that was some miraculous and overwhelming display of his intellectual acuity,

Incorrect. You said he had always been an intellectual lightweight. I corrected you (factually), and rather than admit you made a mistake, you wasted our time trying to direct the debate towards topics that where we didn't disagree (Williams is a liberal, Malkin is smarter than Williams, etc.). Now your feelings are hurt because I made an honest assessment of your intellect, based on the way you handled yourself. You've got your thesaurus out, on the assumption that a few big words can cover up faulty logic. It can't. This is a big boys' forum. When you make a stupid point, somebody is always going to be around to call you on it. When this happens, the best advice is to follow Ben Franklin's advice and remain silent and be thought a fool, rather than opening your mouth (in this case, continuing to post) and removing all doubt.

You corrected me of nothing.

Juan has always been an intellectual lightweight.

Your “disproof” of that consisted solely of saying his came out in defense of Thomas. I replied that that was no proof of intellectual ability, as anyone could see Thomas was being railroaded.

You obviously think me to be your intellectual inferior.

If that is so, why do you waste so much time answering my posts? That says more of you than it does me.

Here’s a quote from Ben Franklin for you:

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
