Miller: attempted hijack ignored. I’m pitting LHOD here for being a nitwit, so I don’t have time to also explain why you are a nitwit. ---

By the way, you are currently making a fool out of yourself. Maybe someday you will realize it, or someone else will explain it to you.

Responding for a request for elucidation with a > ‘you don’t get it’, doesn’t get anyone very far. But, if that tactic is the level you’re working with then I shall stand by my idea that even bringing in the notion of a black actor playing a black character is trite and that’s being gracious. Holy god, how did this come up again? I **did** explain it to you, multiple times, and so did other people. Eventually I threw my hands up because you can’t seem to grasp it. That’s not my fault buddy. ---

The last few posts from you are my favorite kinds of posts–those designed solely to denigrate me that actually make the poster look like a complete idiot. Duke is a master of the genre (with his many posts accusing me of being duplicitous about my identity because I described myself as “a trike salesman” in response to a post that used that term to make a metaphorical point), but you look to have the ability to outpace him someday. ---

As I said, you showed yourself to be a complete idiot.

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > I said this: “Der Trihs, “disadvantaged” is just another word for inferior, which adds that the inferioirity is perhaps temporary and due to outside forces.” That’s the spot where your semantic train derailed and started its short but quick transition into a logical scrap heap. A lone, flaming wheel escapes the wreckage, as tradition dictates. I could explain why, but I must expound at intricate length on my personnal wealth and its correlation to my moral value on another forum right now. You know how it is. ---

I thought that Ayn Rand was your role model as evidence by your name. Or maybe Roarke or Galt. Seriously. I thought that your username was a tribute to a role model. Am I wrong? (On that subject.) ---
