aw... those raw nerves jangled into a spontaneous strutting display :)
But with that fantastic heritage Gregory you're surely not too stupid to
realise you're not making sense?

You said that me not knowning what the IDA was (a branch of the American
defence set-up) cast my stats-based Phd into disrepute. You guessed I
didn't learn much on it. I'm sorry but in amongst all the insults and
misdirection I must have lost sight of where you showed how knowing
about some american defence group should be part of what people learn
during their Phd research...  hang on - I'll check.... nope, I didn't
miss it, it just wasn't there!

I hate to keep nailing you to the point Gregory.. well no I don't,
actually I like to watch you squirm... but unless you can address this
issue you've lost wholesale.

Now: You can guess that I didn't learn much during my phd on the
strength of a nonsensical demand that I should know what you know about
the american defence set-up. .. but I'm not allowed to guess that you
don't know what is involved in a phd on the grounds that your demand is
nonsensical? I'm sure you don't even make sense even to yourself Gregory
:)

What a strange little creature you are Gregory :)

Please explain why when you demonstrated xenophobia you then called me
stupid for asking if you were also a racist? Much much later you tried
to pretend that the xenophobia was a joke. Lots of people didn't get
your 'joke'... you called me stupid for not getting it? Was everyone who
didn't get it stupid? Are you a card-carrying troll?  :)
