Wow. Self-describing your post as "carefully thought out".

Yeah, accuse me of pride. There's "takes one to know one", and then there's this.

Your post is rebutted by history. When you have a reasonable argument to make, go ahead and make it. Until then, your wall of sarcastic text is best answered by "a dash of sarcasm".

You're a troll, and I'm going to take the bait.

How is it rebutted by history? Tell me the specific historical events you have in mind.
