You toss off schoolyard argument, such as "you're ignorant!" and "you're a crank!" and you expect to be taken seriously on a forum like FR? Come now, give us rational argument or pipe down.

I already shot down your will comment with facts you can verify, and I'm still waiting to hear the "powerful arguments" for Oxford's authorship that you alluded to. My guess is that you'll avoid bringing them up again, as here.

And as for "Sir Thomas More," tell us more about that Shakespeare authorship, and what became of the other authors.

Consensus right now is that the other hands in it were Anthony Munday, Henry Chettle, Thomas Heywood, and Thomas Dekker. The arguments for Shakespeare's authorship of the Ill May Day scene are based on style, a unique spelling of one word paralleled only in a couple of his quartos, and consistency of the handwriting with his known signatures.

We are on different frequencies, Jack. I have not even taken a position on the authorship, yet you are reflexively attacking me and thus trying to maneuver me into taking one.
Anyone with internet access can explore the authorship question and the powerful arguments I referred to. I haven't the time or inclination to enlighten anyone on this issue; I mentioned the arguments in order to encourage others to investigate.
When I do write to instruct, I get paid for it very well. Furthermore, your tone is obnoxious, and I don't engage in discussions on that level at any price.
You may have the last word. Noblesse oblige. ;)
