In many of my articles on Substack and elsewhere, I’ve taken aim at many idiots and idiocies, and I would like to formally extend an open invitation to anyone I have targeted, or anyone who may wish to disagree with me, on any subject whatsoever, to come and argue with me. What could be more fun?

Good god, truly the age of chivalry is gone!

I despair!
