[QUOTE="Frankenstein Underworld, post: 422606, member: 35"] I'm only now discovering Douglas Murray, and I find him absolutely insufferable. He only wanted to insult Dave Smith rather than engage in honest debate. What makes one an expert? Educating yourself on a particular subject counts, in most people's opinion, and Smith has obviously done that work. People can disagree with his opinion, but if you think he's wrong, debate him on the facts. I did not see honest debating going on by Murray. I've encountered people like Murray before on social media (and a few here on tellytalk.) To them, the only "experts" are those who feed their confirmation bias. [/QUOTE]
