My impression is that Usul was interested not only in your opinion about racial IQ variations, but also in where your information comes from.

My impression is that Usul is interested in neither of those things as he clearly went into snide mode.

He didn't call you a Christian Identity white supremacist

Let me quote him with the relevant part bolded:

...trolling Christian Identity White Supremacists back in the day, not sure if I should be surprised to find it here or not.

Instead of calling me a nutcase waiting for the Rapture while sitting in an Idaho bunker surrounded by beans and ammo, he's just being passive-aggressive.

he clearly went into snide mode.

Going into snide mode is quite consistent with still wanting to understand the other guy's position and where it came from.

to find it here

My impression is that "it" wasn't meant to mean "the Christian Identity movement" but "racial prejudice".
