Thank you for making my point about your being a pompous, self-centered ass. Your last post confirms up the impression very nicely.
I don't remember saying I wasn't pompous or self centered. I comes with the territory of being as intelligent and informed as I am, I'm afriad. Nevertheless, its obviously preferrable to being ignorant and self important enough to think you had something important to add to this thread, bcause you were too lazy to read the three short paragraphs that had already covered your point in detail.
I you want me to be honest with you, I don't really think posting without reading the thread is all the big a deal. What's really made you look like a jackass here is the absurd self righteousness with which you have wasted my important time defending yourself. I'll let you in on a little secret: I rarely back down when I know I'm right (BTW, I am almost never wrong -but you already knew that). And in this case, I am 100% right and you are 100% wrong. It's plain to see in your first post to me on this thread. You made the exact same point that the author herself was making. I was probably a bit sarcasting in reminding you to read the thread before posting (I regret not adding "so you don't look like a bombastic moron"). Your ego got bruised, and away we went. Am I to expect a couple of weeks of you posting an insult to me, no defense for yourself, and a threat of you exiting my life forever?
BTW, you've piqued my curiosity: You said I had a reputation that preceeded me here on FR. My ego is such that I don't care what kind of publicity I get. Can you name two or even one FReeper that mentioned me to you, or where you just talking out of your a%%? I only bring it up because I am so unimpressed with your intellect at this point that I wouldn't put it past you. I care to know because there are some Catholic-bashers and libertarians on FR who might be in a lot of trouble if they got caught talking out of school. I happen to know that there have only been a couple of threads on FR that had me as the subject, so you can understand that I might wonder how my name came up in casual conversation. I'll make this clear, so even you can understand it: I think you made it up, but it really wouldn't bother me if you didn't.
Tell me something else I didn't know about Sara Palin, professor.
