Do you feel better now, or at least better than me?
If you're going to be arguing about facts in history, it's generally better to read the sources.
It's clear that you didn't read the Stanford page carefully. You've announced that you're not willing to read Tim O'Neill's writing. You didn't read the carefully presented research on the Renaissance Mathematicus blog that I linked to. You haven't read the books by Yates or Rowland. You clearly haven't read Bruno's original work. You haven't given us any reason to think that you have researched this at all.
Now you've switched over into personal insults.
