Discussing this with **ivan astikov** is a complete waste of time. And speaking of time, it’s time for breakfast (hash browns, cheese omlette, and of course bacon), so let’s just speed things up concerning **ivan astikov’s** babbling in this thread: _deficatio ad patesco proloquium, ad ignoratio elenchi, ad homunculus, ad populum, ad auctoritas, ad institutio_, and _ad hominem_. ‘nuff said.

Then let’s turn briefly to the last thread **ivan astikov** started in the Pit:

Of course the ongoing ridicule of **ivan astikov** should have no logical relevance to a discussion with him, but hey, this is the pit, and that bacon frying in the pan smells sooo goooood!
