@AB thank you for your comment.
‘Just because you religiously reference old FT articles like you’re writing a Family Guy episode doesn’t make you sophisticated.’ Yes, I do reference old FT articles. Religiously, no! The reason is obvious, I am a regular reader of this newspaper, and those references were germane to the issue. Then, the Family Guy non sequitur- you put the spurs to your rhetorical mount and were immediately thrown from the saddle. In sum, your argument descends in to a collection of personal insults, not to speak of public shaming, two of the hallmarks of the anti-intellectual, the Know-Nothing. For this kind of polemic you have a gift, yet it is no substitute for actual argument. Even though it has a limited appeal, it would have been more effective had you been able to infuse your screed with humor. Or, was that what the Family Guy reference was meant to accomplish? If so it fell with a thud!
