My point was that you can't claim that someone's viewpoint is based on lack of research when all you cite is a small selection of such research. At the very least, not having read what you deem important doesn't make anyone a "dumb motherfucker," especially when it's very likely that they have a pretty solid knowledge base from which they derive their opinion. I just found it condescending and arrogant, but of course you are entitled to your debating style. Not all that important, really. Just annoying.
