Pandora, thanks for your reply.  I wouldn't go so far as to call it "bullying", though.  The adults here can stand on their own two feet and present reasoned arguments.  Kurgan (and his devotees who are amused by him] consistently reveal their immaturity by resorting to sophomoric sarcasm and ridicule.  Moliere was a satirist.  So was H. L.  Menken.  Kurgan is nowhere near their league.  He's no satirist.  He's just a juvenile smart-aleck, in my view.
