Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Yet you still have that smug attitude while you talk down to people as if your intellect is just so very superior to theirs, and you act as if you are doing a person a favor by 'explaining' it to them every day. The exaspeation you must feel when nobody takes your advise, forcing you to jump back in there every day and fight the good fight.

I know you don't believe in WP. But you do resemble it in the forceful way you demand that people define term on your terms. And you seem quite offended that nobody listens. I mean, why don't we recognize the favor you are doing us by framing the narrative.
