Nice. You admit to personal attacks, and you're good to go.
It's pretty rich that you would describe Bertrand Russell as a 'crackpot'.
Here's what Mr Ox left out, the first paragraphs of a long Wiki article;
Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell,
OM,
FRS[7] (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a British mathematician, logician, philosopher, and
public intellectual. He had influence on mathematics,
logic,
set theory, and various areas of
analytic philosophy.
[8]
He was one of the early 20th century's prominent
logicians[8] and a founder of
analytic philosophy, along with his predecessor
Gottlob Frege, his friend and colleague
G. E. Moore, and his student and protégé
Ludwig Wittgenstein. Russell with Moore led the British "revolt against
idealism".
Bertrand Russell - Wikipedia Together with his former teacher A. N. Whitehead, Russell wrote Principia Mathematica, a milestone in the development of classical logic and a major attempt to reduce the whole of mathematics to logic (see Logicism). Russell's article "On Denoting" has been considered a "paradigm of philosophy".[10]
Russell was a pacifist who championed anti-imperialism and chaired the India League.[11][12][13] He went to prison for his pacifism during World War I,[14] and initially supported appeasement against Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, before changing his view in 1943, describing war as a necessary "lesser of two evils". In the wake of World War II, he welcomed American global hegemony in preference to either Soviet hegemony or no (or ineffective) world leadership, even if it were to come at the cost of using their nuclear weapons.[15] He would later criticise Stalinist totalitarianism, condemn the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, and become an outspoken proponent of nuclear disarmament.[16]
In 1950, Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought".[17][18] He was also the recipient of the De Morgan Medal (1932), Sylvester Medal (1934), Kalinga Prize (1957), and Jerusalem Prize (1963).
