Seriously?! And you claimed to have worked with nuclear scientists? What was your job description?

I don’t answer to you.

I happened to mention (How long ago? Six months maybe?) that I worked as a mathematician at an atomic power lab in Pittsburgh, only because you accused me of having no critical thinking ability, and critical thinking ability was an integral requirement for that particular position. I did not claim to have more of that ability than you; I simply claimed that, in light of my career, I could debate with you on a level playing field.

Since then, you have mockingly referred to that revelation probably more than a dozen times (obsession … n… compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea), whenever I seriously disagreed with one of your opinions.

I believe your obsession with mentioning my former career is telling on three fronts. It either portrays (1) that you believe conservatives would not hold a position that requires the ability to critically think (which flies in the face of reality, since the majority of scientists are politically conservative), or (2) that you believe a woman would be a rarity in such a position (which would render you a misogynist), or (3) that because I disagree with you on political issues, I don’t have the wherewithal to hold a position that requires analytical ability.

Whether the reason is one, two or three, by your repeated references to my former career, you are continually proving yourself to be something along the lines of an intolerant bigot.
