What evidence is that? Please, properly validate your position.

Again, properly support your position.

Yep, and in all of your claims, you have yet to properly support your claim. You make a lot of boastful claims, but all I see.. are claims... /shrug

Go ahead, please clarify how you came to this conclusion. I am interested to see your "reasoning" process.

Lots of experience at generalizing without any support? Ok, if you say so!

You appear not to.
I am sure you are very smart, I mean, I have to know, you have reminded me several times already about how smart you are.

It is funny, both sides fighting over who is smarter when they both can only read out of their playbook and recite rhetoric being fed to them.

"Fruits" maybe, but lately it looks like you might be gaining on us in the "nuts" department...
