The statement you quote was not posted by me but by somebody else. If I didn't acknowledge Mr. Don's intellect, why would I engage him in conversation? I didn't acknowledge YOUR intellect why would I even bother to answer you?
I have problems with Mr. Don's lack of engagement, which is something different. He is not interested in going all the way in his analyses and we left it at that because that is his prerrogative, not because he is not capable as much as he is not willing.
If you had something to contribute to the discussion, you should do so. Doing what you are doing, makes everybody think that somehow those participating have some sort of super intelligence you lack. I assure you that I am not smarter than you are, maybe just more careful in how I think just as Mr. Don is carefull in what he thinks about.
Respect breeds respect.
