Ake, when you show utter contempt for those who don't agree with your pronouncements and try to call their intelligence and personal integrity into question, it's pretty hard to further credit anything you say. As has been said of you by others, you frequently try to discredit an argument you don't like by inventing fictions about the intelligence and motives of the one who puts forth the argument (fallacy of the straw man) and then you attack the person on that basis rather than address their argument (fallacy of the argumentum ad hominem). That's verbal "slight of hand," and an attempt at deliberate deception.

When you try to pull that sort of stuff, it's pretty hard to take anything you say seriously.
