You have a great deal of experience in being unable to illustrate
concepts? I can believe that.

I hope you have been teaching your dog to behave, not teaching
children --- they'd be terminally confused and forced to learn by
rote, since every time you are questioned you change the subject.
I had a teacher like that who used such technique to deflect
every sort of criticism[1]. You remind me of him.

Since you are often enough proven wrong, it's a good thing not to
'understand' you (i.e. blindly believe you and learn by rote what
you spout).

Yep, you have a complex, you need to feel you are better than
others. A member of the master race, so to say, so intellectually
advanced that you are to be mentioned in the same breath as the
most intelligent people of the last couple millennia.

You way to 'prove' this is to be cryptic so that noone else
understands you, not stating assumptions, using skewed views,
halftruths, changing the subject, changing the context by
selectively quoting (always to the detriment of others), changing
assumptions on the fly, ignoring conventions, denigrating the
opinion of others, and so on.

But I must agree you are shy, unwilling to reveal your real name
--- noone should be able to track your behaviour here to your real
world persona. You'll of course explain that's only because you
don't want to dazzle us with your grand name and that we treat
you just like everyone else ...

to even consider that "marriages last forever" and "husband
beats wife every day" might pose a problem, much less give
even a hint of a solution --- which I do expect of someone
who spends his life with such things. Completely steeped in
dogma and seemingly unable to match them to the real world.

Needless to say, we had an extremely high opinion of him.

What's truly ironic, is Kaiser Wolfgang accusing "Mxsmanic"
of having a "superiority complex."

Especially so, as "Bruce" (the British troll) claims that
Mxsmanic is Polish!

Which specific sort of irony

would that be?

Ah, so you avoid answering. I shall throw cotton balls at you
until you bleed, and then you will be awarded purple earrings.
