(2,901 posts)I didn't say that you are not a liberal, is that not true?
You dismissed a man who (according to the article) has studied the subject for many years. You did so by using an insult to academics.
That is a statement of fact is it not?
You repeat that insult in this post.

Do you agree that this is a working hypothesis?
That's what I got from your post. That is what I think you believe.
