Sure. But there's no point in whinging on social media about how nasty historic figures are. It achieves nothing, and when people aren't able to carry conversations well (like Greer) it just makes them look pathetic, and makes the arguments themselves look stupid. Plus, why even say it? It's like calling someone ugly.
