Would you offer the same advice to Fuji who often declares things that are factually wrong in a condescending way and then refuses to admit his error or apologize when it is shown he is factually wrong?
Is that how you define intelligence?
You're speaking about yourself. I still remember your first thread on here where you fucked up in saying that there was no religious imperative in Muslim communities to wear the naqib or the hajib. When it was pointed out to you that it's in the Haddiths you stone-walled and insisted that only the Koran mattered and kept repeating endlessly that it wasn't in the Koran.
You weren't man enough to acknowledge your errors then, and you've been just as arrogant ever since.
Most of your arguments you simply start out stating that you think you are superior or that the other person doesn't understand something, next you proceed into a detailed analysis of something fundamentally irrelevant to the point being made.
Often you'll make one stab at a valid argument but then when confronted with contradictory facts you wander off into bafflegab. Like when you tried to claim that the US operation in Pakistan was legal, first you brought up the valid point that it's legitimate to attack into a neutral country if that country isn't taking up the issue on its own. But Pakistan has clearly taken up that issue, and repeatedly attacked al Qaeda--and when that was pointed out to you, you reverted to mindless bafflegab.
There is no-one on this board more arrogant than you. Not only do you fail to admit your glaring errors when you make them, you try and snow everyone over with a bunch of gibberish to cover it up when it happens.
I will give you credit that, unlike say blackrock, you do say intelligent things from time to time. You'd be a valuable contributor here if you toned down the arrogance a bit. I may be arrogant, but it's because I'm often right. About the only thing I don't back down from are moral imperatives--I have fairly strongly held and firmly argued views. You are wrong in your claim that I won't back down if I get the facts wrong--but you have a tendency to mis-use the word fact, too.
You on the other hand do get basic facts wrong and then try to cover it up with bafflegab. For example, your claim that there was no religious edict requiring Muslims to wear the Hajib. It's factually wrong. For some Muslim sects it's clear in the Haddiths, which have the status of religious law.
