translated by me: In other words it takes some skill to save yer arse, and not a lot to show off :-) Maybe so, but it takes some courage to say exactly what you mean, while any fool can play the smartass and leave people scratching their heads before collectively ignoring him. |

It would be a little more credible position to take without the anonymous posting. |

while any fool can play the smartass and leave people scratching their heads before collectively ignoring him. It's known as the Usenet club effect. They hide out in specialized little niches, bouncing their prejudice and snobbery and supposed expertise off one another while collectively defending against any "interloper" who doesn't see things exactly the way they do. Some of these forums would be far more interesting were it not for people like them continually dominating the conversation but these assholes are everywhere, just like in real life. Don't take stupid remarks personally. Allow it to reflect upon those who offered them, like that pedantic little moron who is attempting to get your attention right now. |
