      No, you still don't get it. You are taking my general discussion point and personalising it, and chucking in a couple of ad hominem comments as flavouring. I'm nmore than happy to discuss my thesis and even accept it is wrong (which is quite likely) but you aren't doing that, you're just calling me names.

      Is this the £5 argument or the full £20 one?

      Blog? What blog...?

          I feel like I've stumbled into the comments section of a Wail article.

                  Which tulip translator did you get that junk from. I called you no names ( oh the irony from the one who called me "narrow minded"), just I don't think you are as wise as you like to think you are. And definitely place too much store by books in my opinion.

                  I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.
