And you, sir, ought to be careful not to be so condescending.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoSorry, but my options were limited: I felt I had to say unpleasant things, and I meant it in a good way. That's pretty much the definition of condescension. So, it's either being condescending or not pointing out your mistakes at all. Do you really think you would have done otherwise? http://xkcd.com/386/ http://xkcd.com/386/
- alexkearns 16y agoAre you always this annoying?
- loup-vaillant 16y agoAllways, no. The last few days, yes. In the future, I hope not. It feels like I am more and more able to see flaws in other's reasoning, but it's still harder to see them in mine. I also didn't figure out a way of saying "you're wrong" which doesn't hurt people yet. Finally, my current priority on the internet is seeking truth, not being nice. So I guess that makes me an arrogant jerk. Well that's not cool, maybe I should shift my priorities a bit.
