You started and then perpetuated a hellish flamewar in this thread. That's seriously not ok on HN. Please don't do it again.

A fine idea. And we all know that people who own land are more likely to be educated anyway, so why not make owning land a requirement to vote as well?

If society wants an educational qualification for voting it should implement a proper one. It shouldn’t rely on some online scammer trying to confuse and distract.
