Look, this is getting tiresome. Do you want to go back and forth slinging insults to no purpose, or would you like to actually try to discuss some philosophy? I will put away my ego if you will do the same, and we can attempt to start over at the beginning. Tolthar and I are finally have a somewhat...

AT, a person interested in a discussion about some topic makes it their business to know what they are talking about.
