Another thing I have noticed about the "fact freaks" is that they continuously refer to their opposing debater as "small," in stature,intelligence,even place of habitation,and invariably use terms like "Sonny","old son", "little mind", "little ideas",and living in a "little world".
jacqui c,said something interesting concerning an insecurity behind the writing of these people,and a obsessive need to prove themselves right.
I think she has a valid point.
I have always categorised people who use these terms, as patronising bullies ...Ake
