      The saying I heard was “Don’t argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

        I heard “don’t argue with a pigeon, they will shit all over the place and play chess” and those words cut deep.

      Stupidity is contagious. If everyone is given an equal voice, words of the wise will be drowned out by the thunderous rumble of morons.

      Some still try.
