Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

That's a lot of work for two points.

Hey! Don't be hating on the fun facts, man.....

Meanwhile, I would appreciate a Rich U deuce if you're handing them out. Apparently, I am also too clever for Esto's own good.
