Worse than dumb ass, FX is not capable of even finding a researcher from the sites he is cherry picking that approves of what he is doing. Or that agree with his stupid premise. In reality the experts tell a different history so they are the ones we will rely on. FXMastermind is not even an FX person. 🙂 As for the OP FX continues to… \* Ran away. Bravely ran away, away. When danger rears it’s ugly head. He bravely turned his tail and fled.\* ---
