Even if you were, calling names like this never helps the conversation. If I were you, I am likely to challenge the rep's on what account he thinks I am just parroting information from the web. That's a personal attack and I will not be intimidated by it, even though I am a Chinese and we are culturally predisposed to avoid confrontation. If a point is valid and a lot of people feels it is important, it will get raised again and again. Rather than finding a good reason to counter these points, resorting to name calling is usually a sign of desperatism. I am assuming you are a Ghanaian, if so, there is no foundation in saying your comment is not the concern of Ghana.
