Are you telling me that those books were written by masons?

[mcswan]

I don't know if they were written by masons or not, nor do I care. The point is I can tell the difference between reality and hateful, fantasy trash. You apparently cannot.

Any way I think it's time to move on, though this exchange has been scintillating. I fondly recall an eccentric old neighbor from my youth who loved to talk in metaphors. In speaking of ignorant people who endlessly haggle for the sake of dragging you into the gutter with them, he told me that arguing with fools is like wrestling with a pig in mud: after awhile you realize that the pig enjoy getting filthy. I think I met that pig tonight.
