(Yabadaba)abdoo demonstrates three things here.  He is a credentialist, 
believing intelligence is measured by the bits of paper collected as one 
passes through life.  He cannot respond with argument so he resorts to 
attempts at marginalization (an oppressor quality) by claiming I don't exist. 
 Lastly, he shows that, like all bigots, he will happily employ cultural, 
ethnic, and racial stereotypes to create a negative image of someone he 
disagrees with.  Oh, and a fourth -- he fails to even recognize that I was 
supportive of his position concerning the wide spread use of psychotropic 
drugs on children.:-)
Yours, Y'all!
