- Please, everybody just ignore this asshole. The inference people fail to make
- which keeps this guy around is that *only an idiot* would behave this way!
- That means that it is a waste of time dealing with him. And I dont mean it is
- a waste of time because you wont convince himn he is an idiot, that is
- already obvious. What I mean is it is a waste of time dealing with him
- because his opinion is worthless. WHO CARES WHAT THIS GUY THINKS!!
-
- The next time you get pissed off at what a total asshole this guy is and get
- ready to write a response, go through the following thought experiment first:
- Think of what this guy must be like in person. Imagine how you would react
- to him if you met him in person. You'd probably just laugh at the guy as
- a poor deluded guy who just gets on your nerves. You'd want him to go away.
- You'd realize that fueling his idiotic need for attention will just keep
- him around. So you'd ignore him. Let's try to do that here.
-
- Please. Don't respond to anything he says. If anything, just do it out of
- curiousity to see what he'll do if he has no one to irritate.
