Get over yourself. You came into this thread, stated falsehoods, people called you out. Now you are resorting to personal attacks because in the end, you are wrong and you have nothing else to prove your wrong claims.
It's exactly what we have been discussing. You came in, started talking about it, and when people told you "it's not a barrier" you refused everything, wirh no reason at all. You are discussing in bad faith, with no arguments.
