Have you ever bothered to gather any empirical evidence on the relationship between intelligence and
pointlessly insulting behaviour? If you did do you think that there'd be any association between the
two? To put it another way, would Alan Turing call someone he didn't agree with a "cocksucker" or
would he enter into a friendly debate? Are any of the people that you consider geniuses as
frequently (and redundantly) insulting as you?

thanks,
David Gentle
