Mea culpa, as Kathy would say. I do try to rise above that sort of thing, at least in general. My comments were unnecessarily wounding. That I was provoked by her anti-Muslim stuff (e.g., "News flash: Arabs are violent retards!") is no excuse. <BR/><BR/>To answer her question, though, at least in part: her assumptions about my education are way off. But since when do degrees have anything to do with writing ability anyway? I once knew an otherwise wonderful professor who claimed that W.B. Yeats would have risen to even greater heights had he had the benefit of a Trinity College education. I've been shaking my head ever since.<BR/><BR/>I won't get into the implicit racism in her "third world, third rate" comment, although I do point it out.

What is that supposed to mean, Mr. I'm a Feminist? Hmmm? Like most feminist males, you're really a simpleminded, irrational blowhard who hates women with a passion.<BR/><BR/>Self-hype: yeah, folks here in the Great White North (and no, that's not a racist, imperialist nickname...)aren't supposed to mention their accomplishments or take pride in the recognition they get -- even on their own blogs! Just because you're a typical leftist anonymous loser on the web, doesn't mean some of us actually have something to brag about.<BR/><BR/>I was delighted to be sparing with the braindead self-described "queers", bigots and delinquents at Rabble.ca -- the "sort of" comes in because none of those "proud" folks had the balls to actually print the "big secrets" they said they had on me. Like you, they hide behind half-truths and fake names. <BR/><BR/>If you don't like my blog, stop. Reading. It. You. Weenie!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876954817622648063noreply@blogger.com
