How odd, you appear to have deleted the rest of my
reply:

"The difference between enlightenment and ignorance
would be in the *response* to the attack.

"(And even among the ignorant, as I've noted already,
there can be a difference between perceiving an attack
--via laughing-at or otherwise--and feeling attacked.)"

I know it must burn your butt, Barry, to know that
your attacks don't provoke fear and distress, but
it's something you really should learn to live with.
