Hubris? That is a great answer.

Apparently you could not articulate a discussion?

Another fellow just told me why he disagrees, spent some time explaining why. I can respect that.

You, well, you just have some stupid one liners.

I'm certain you are not from Rio Lindo but a definition of HUBRIS may help in your understanding. Hubris or hybris (Greek ὕβÃ��ιÃ�‚), according to its modern usage, is exaggerated self pride or self-confidence (overbearing pride), often resulting in fatal retribution. In Ancient Greece, "hubris" referred to actions taken in order to shame the victim, thereby making oneself seem superior. If the shoe fits wear it - otherwise apologies as it should be like water off a ducks back. Lurking'
