He attacked your knowledge of a particular issue, then you leveled a personal attack (idiot is a far worse insult than saying somebody isn't educated on an issue). I always get the feeling from you that you're looking down your nose at anybody that doesn't see the world the same way as you do. It's a fundamental lack of respect that you show, not just an issue of your previously mentioned comment.

EDIT: By essentially defining 'idiot' as somebody who disagrees with you, you have proved my point.

"This is where knowledge and education really helps" implies that I lack knowledge and education in all matters, but for this point it would really help.  Saying that I am "unable to sound almost educated" is also an attack on me, not the issues.

If you can't differentiate between attacking someone's knowledge of an issue (I agree he shouldn't have done this), and attacking them personally (calling a name like idiot), there's really not much else I can say to you on this.

I'm referring more to a general lack of respect on your part to those that disagree with you, my opinion on that is not based only on your comment here, but on a general atitude you show when debating.

I have no further comments on this issue.
