DrDeth has sunk even lower than his previous raving lunacy as he sprays his insanity all over the Preacher thread. Hoping to nip it in the bud, I responded immediately to his first raving with:

> [@Preacher -- The New Show / Old Comic Now Airing on AMC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/preacher-the-new-show-old-comic-now-airing-on-amc/755371/29):
>
> Provide a cite that the TV show Preacher is funded by Big Tobacco, or shut the fuck up.

DrDeth responded with the ultimate answer:

> [@Preacher -- The New Show / Old Comic Now Airing on AMC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/preacher-the-new-show-old-comic-now-airing-on-amc/755371/35):
>
> Provide a cite that they\* didn’t \*fund it.

Yeah, that’s not how it works. But DrDeth is clearly immune to reasoned argument, being a complete moron and all. So the only appropriate response to this idiocy was kindly provided by Fenris:

> [@Preacher -- The New Show / Old Comic Now Airing on AMC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/preacher-the-new-show-old-comic-now-airing-on-amc/755371/54):
>
> Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

This perfectly sums up the amount of respect DrDeth deserves.
