You poor thing! A shame you were culturally deprived in your youth and lack the inherent good manners that comes with being reared in the South.
Don't worry too much about Mortin. He's from the Charles Sumner school of obnoxious yankees who can't seem to control themselves from shooting their mouths off.
He pretends to be an intellectual, but rather than debate the merits of an issue, he flings manure at anything that disagrees with his extremely uneducated and often downright absurd positions. It's gotten him banned from FR twice before under different names and will likely get him banned again.
