Mr. Duke, in a recent Rococo comment stated, quote: 'Gary Gifford's Comment about his own PoM ''The Medusa is not be underestimated'' is rather fatuous...'

Well fatuous is an adjective meaning 'foolish and idiotic.' I believe that the insult is simply not true. Here is why:

First-time players of POM often did under estimate the Medusa. So such a friendly comment is not at all fatuous. It would be like telling a newcomer to chess, watch out for the Knight forks... there is nothing fatuous about such sound advice.
