I'm sure you're always right,

No. I'm wrong about lots of things, but not about islamic and secular fascism as they exist today. Why you have difficulty in either seeing their existence and object to me writing about them, puzzles me.

Because you never actually attack my arguments.

It always seems in the end to boil down to some sort of mistaken objection to my style, ("Your pompous* lectures") which, according to you, seems to break some sort of Miss Manners type of rule for internet speech.

It is offensive that your personal attacks replace criticism of my arguments. The only time I ever learn something from your activities is when you paste an article written, not by you, but someone else.

Like I said, my suspicion is you haven't been right about anything since 1972. It's time you got over this. Step out. Take a risk. Your mind is probably better than mine, but how the hell should I know? You never actually say anything.
