As an American, I'm not going to downvote you.

I'm just going to make a mocking post that notes that "wrapping yourself in the truth" doesn't insulate your lies from the light of morning, whether you're American or not.

For the record, I'm not downvoting you for your opinion. I'm downvoting you for being a smug nationalist.
And there is nothing so arrogant as filling a thread with aspersions about the man without providing any sort of reference other than your own repeated assertions. You come across as a contrarian troll.
it's not slander, it's the truth. someone else discovered and tested MDMA many decades before sasha, but he is credited with "discovering" the compound.
1. I didn't say it was slander, I said you come in casting aspersions without references, which you have

2. The article doesn't say he discovered it, I didn't say that either, only that he introduced it to psychiatrists.

So what exactly are both of you talking about with taking credit?

(for reference I'm not american either)
