While I appreciate the effort you put into your reply, I take issue with the content.
You did not know what socialism is.
False
You have no idea what I know and do not know.
All educated people know what socialism is.
Also False
There are many educated people with gaps in their education. Some of them know how to split an atom. Some don't. Some of them know what socialism is. Some don't. Some of them will even point to Australia on a map when asked where Iraq is. 
Therefore it is reasonable to conclude that you are not educated.
Also False
A conclusion based on two incorrect assumptions? I don't think so. And you've repeatedly incorrectly stated that I don't know logic. Tsk. Tsk.

You make generalizations about Canadians frequently in your posts. Why hold back now?

Brian was actually an admin in the beginning of the forum. Then he resigned. Then he came back and was an mod. Then he resigned again. Sorry to disappoint your sloppy conspiracy theory.

Assuming? Theory?
I neither stated, nor made any assumptions nor any theory regarding Brian's departure.
*pulls John closer and whispers in his ear*
Better be careful, John.
There are some people around here, opportunists, who would use this opportunity to falsely point out that you have no idea what an assumption is, nor what a theory is. They might even go as far as asking you what the hell you're doing in the Politics forum when you are completely clueless regarding the definition of the word "theory".
