   Since I did question the term itself then it is obvious I am not taking   
   anything for granted about it nor did I define it but suggested a few   
   possibilities.   I did not label anything a fantasy but merely pointed out   
   that being logical does not make something actual, nor is it true to say   
   that I know nothing about it.  And I did not complain about anyone making   
   assumptions but strongly suggested you rethink yours especially about what   
   you assume I think or believe.  You are right about one thing though without   
   question.  It is pointless to continue talking to you, especially if you are   
   going to continue to be such an irrational presumptuous credulous moron.
