- vacri 11y agoI love wry humour, but being insulting with wry humour is still being insulting. You don't get a pass on abuse "because rhetoric".
- engi_nerd 11y agoIsn't being insulting a valid part of humor? And I would hesitate to call such a mild joke "abuse".
- vacri 11y agoGiven that the GP is complaining of feeling excluded by such things, it's hypocritical to do the same in reverse. The GP is basically deriding all people on high salary as being pseudo-intellectuals. The problem I have with the GP is not the literal words (I have no problem with style), but that he's complaining of being stereotyped while spreading a stereotyped anti-intellectual message.

- engi_nerd 11y agoNow see, this is a valid point that I feel has substance. His style, for me, is not very important in comparison.
