Of course if the great intellect Richard Marchetti doesn't see any good in
something, then there *isn't* any good in it and you all should obey his
request. Do not, I repeat, do not try and think for yourselves.
A greater intellect is at work here...
so basically what he's saying is-- "do as I say, not as I do". Hypocrite.

1. *I* never claimed it did.
2. I don't think anyone else ever did in the first place. I'm sure, however,
that anyone in a foreign country who is even following this appreciates your
condescension. What a joke.
And why are you so worried about "other countries" anyway? That's just weird.

You know, when I debate someone, I rarely believe that I will change their
minds, much less convince them of anything. The best one can do is to present
one's case and hope to defend it. For you to imagine that *you* will somehow
enlighten *me*, and if I fail to "see the light", to repeatedly call me
ignorant and stubborn is so shockingly pretentious and so shockingly bigoted.
You bore me with your trolls, ad hominem attacks, and bogus calls of censure.
Please *do* abide by your own exhortation; unless personally attacked (again) I
am certainly finished responding to you.
