    tom payne

    The fact that you are unable to write without resorting to contrived insults and over-wrought cliches leads me to believe that you don't really want to be taken seriously. Sorry, if you were trying to insult me, I've been insulted by smarter people than you. If you were trying to persuade me that I was wrong, then you need a few lessons on rhetoric and persuasive writing. So I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish other than your own apparent need to label those who don't agree with you as racist.
