Those that were forgotten may be right too.

I would still listen dispassionately. He's smarter than most people on this thread, that's for sure.

Being logical is ridiculing someone for being wrong, not for being full of himself. Many geniuses were ass holes.

I assure you -- There's nothing wrong with ridiculing someone for being an asshole. How you interact with other people matters, like it or not.

I never said there was nothing wrong with it.

I said to be logical you should only ridicule people for being wrong.

Ridiculing someone for being an ass hole is valid but illogical. There is merit to this distinction because sometimes the ass hole is right and everyone else is wrong.

The key here is dispassionate judgment and analysis. Can you handle that? If not that's totally normal and valid.
