There are indeed many examples of your stupidity ivan, but one of my most favorite and least political is this [one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=481667).

This was the thread which really got me hooked on the SDMB, for which you have my thanks. You steadfastly resist and blunder about as poster after poster tries to explain simple high school level Newtonian physics to you. This was the first time I noticed your user name; when I read the thread, I was not aware that you were a bigoted conspiracy theory mongering antisemitic ass hat. Of course, as I read more of your posts about 9/11, aliens, and most of all the Jooooos, I found them all the more amusing in light of your demonstrated scientific illiteracy. I have literally laughed out loud as you expound on the finer points of WTC metallurgy, as I picture the ignorant twat who utter such gems as:

In all fairness, this may demonstrate your ignorance rather than your stupidity. However, when an admitted ignoramus insists that their asinine conspiracy theories are scientifically correct, that’s stupidity.
