Do you actually have an argument ? Do you actually have a contribution to make to the discussion ? Can you not see the claims being made here ? Can you actually argue one way or another, or is this discussion simply off-limits because anyone has any opinion whatsoever?

Is it essential that I add "I read this from some place" ?

I deal with this issue on a personal level; the least you can acknowledge is that it hurts for me to have internalized assertions I clearly did not dream up or produce myself.

relax, calm down down. Yes, so magically you managed to provoke a troll out of his slumber. Ignore him. Don't feed the troll.

That said, I am actually confused why someone would doubt your intellectual brilliance based on your mother-tongue :/
