It seems to me that there are several varieties of idiocy, who have in common a deep sense of hatred toward intelligence.

Some of the idiots are adherents of 'the big idiocy' - that is, "everyone can say everything, it is all relative anyway". And, besides, "there are no proofs, really!"
<font color="white"> . </font>
Others are minimizers - they acknowledge that something is correct and something is wrong, according to certain rules of logic, but they try to chip away at the scope and scale of logic and common sense anyway.

Then there are the obfuscators - those who try to muddy the waters and raise extaneous and tangential issues in an attempt to divert and distract from any issue that is being discussed.

Some of these types are easy to spot. They are trolls, plain and simple, and are obvious to all.

Others are more insidious - they understand how most decent people would be appalled at those who attempt to lie about, minimize, distort, and obfuscate historical facts, and strangle logic. So they cloak their idiocy and their agendas with a veneer of civility and politeness.

Observant ones will not be fooled.

FYP. I did not realize it was a self-portrait.

(Kinda like one of those self-portraits of the old masters, hidden underneath other, innocuous paintings. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img])
