What? I just had never heard of the enlightenment. I never said history is stupid (though it's not exactly my forte). Sorry if you interpretted it that way, but I never meant to actually insult anyone, well except the Oklahoma school system. I don't see what the big deal was...
I'll just say this. I still have no idea why it's so wrong to say something "argumentative". That's subjective anyway. Big deal if I say something controversial, it doesn't mean I wanna fight about it. Making arguments and then just stepping away from the conversation? Don't see the problem there either, I'm just saying what I think fully realizing it won't go anywhere. Running in insulting someone and then leaving? Yes, I DO see the problem with that. I don't recall saying that, and I looked in the WoW thread (now totally dominated by some graphics debate I see) unable to find whatever post you mean. Did I say something especially offensive to ASM or something?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
