That DOES utterly fascinate me. Doc is such a hate monger and Cypress doesn't really strike me as that. Sure, Cypress is thin skinned as all get out and not as smart as he fancies himself, but he does, like the anosmic pig, find truffles from time to time. His threads promise the most interesting discussions but he, himself, is incapable of anyone even mildly disagreeing with any of his points.
I wonder, at times, if he's possibly autistic or on the spectrum. Clearly he's smart enough to read widely, but not smart enough to synthesize the information such that he can discuss it in any meaningful way.
I actually am sad that the guy who quotes the most interesting stuff is unable to discuss it without it just devolving down to him telling us who he's read.
