“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

― Jean-Paul Sartre

Ok. Seemed odd that you'd leave a comment with no relation to mine in response.

And now you've exhausted the short list of insults and have to repeat the same ones over and over.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Why wouldn't they?

It's hard not to interpret this comment in a western chauvinistic light.
