As to I actually find it hilarious that people like you come on here and set themselves up as knowing more about history than the historians.
You even ridicule people for learning their history from history books

Well, I have never said I know more about history than anyone and well you know it. I have ridiculed you on many occasions, but not for learning about history. Just for being a pompous ass. (From 'Urban Dictionary: Pompous Ass. A person who seems full of themselves and who grabs every opportunity to let others know of their feelings of superiority.) Seems to fit rather well.
