You know, Boowah, those that are truly informed and knowledgeable don't feel compelled to go around talking about how cosmopolitan they are and how parochial and backward "All the Little Folks"are. What an insecure, sad little person you must be.

And by the way, my IQ is higher than yours and so are all my children's.

We win, I guess!

The initial proposition in this chain of argument, you will find, if you were to use your superior IQ to drive your curiosity, was by farming pharmer, who claimed that pro-Ukraine partisans were two-digit-IQ slobs. So I demurred, using myself as a contrary data point.

So now you have, highly intelligently, flipped the proposition somehow, in a way that I am, most certainly, intellectually unsuited to follow.

As for the exchange with the redoubtable Jon Preston, you will note that he told me, a foreigner, to stop commenting on US foreign affairs.

This seems a bit, er, incurious of him. One can even say parochial. So one makes assumptions, as one does. You have to admit it’s a fair cop on my part.

Social media is cursed with gas-filled, European twits who imagine themselves to be the second coming of Nietzsche or Kant.

We must be strong and knock them on their fat, egomaniacal asses when the opportunity presents itself.

As American philosopher Gen. George Patton said: They are a scurvy race and simply savages. We could beat hell out of them.
