You certainly are obsolete and archaic

"Actually", you have presented very little.

I guess you have actual existence, though you might be an artificial
intelligence - I think that can make AIs that produce more
intelligent-sounding racist garbage than you do.

No sign of any objective reality from you.

You seem to be the one being insolent.

Not you.

Precisely what your name-calling appears to be.  You were the one who
resorted the "N" word, as I recall.  And do I not see the word "idiot"
immediately above?  Please report your source that his/her tested IQ is in
the range associated with that label, since you are a master of "fact".

I have answered your contentions, and you are the one who mentions my "ilk".

Actually, "average" is not the same as "normal".  But you were the one who
claimed to be a "Mensa'n", the definition of which is that they are about as
far from "average" as can be.

Too bad you don't understand that you pointed that weapon at your own face.
(Or is the above not an "ad hominem" by the Webster's definition?)
