I stopped reading after this gem:

The interesting thing about that is you could have turned off that episode of Crosstalk after that opening because the rest of the segment involved two other people flailing against that argument and completely unable to overcome it.

What I said is really an IQ test and a test of how sane and reasonable you are when you hear it. Let me put it another way.

That alone tells me that you have effectively closed off any meaningful debate. You have prefaced your argument with an insult to anyone who does not agree with your point of view.

This is not an IQ test, except for testing the IQ of anyone who would enter into a debate that is sure to involve you insulting them. What you are saying is "my points are valid and if you argue against them you are not sane."

That's lame flamebait.
