It is "supremely arrogant" of you to assume that anyone who disagrees with you is "stupid". It's also childish of you to resort to name-calling in order to make your point.
You have an interesting tendency to try to score points by twisting what other people write. I never said you were stupid because you disagree with me. I said you were stupid because you gave a serious response to an obviously jocular post.

If you really want to be pedantic, stupid is an adjective, not a name. Was it childish not to use a euphemism instead? Perhaps.

You also try to make people feel small by quoting their own text back at them, usually out of context. I can really see why some people dislike you. You give female gamers a very bad name.

I never said it was closed. I *implied* that it's a waste of time. A distinction that you don't seem able to grasp. Perhaps if you'd ceased ranting at me long enough to actually read what I wrote, you wouldn't have missed that small, yet important detail.
Again, you are trying to present yourself as in some way superior, this time by drawing utterly an spurious distinction between your choice of words and mine to describe the same thing.

If you actually allowed people to disagree with you, you wouldn't have to argue so hard.
