I definitely see where Patton is coming from. I was heavily bullied early in school, then honed my "too cool for school" smart ass streak and said a lot of mean shit to a lot of people. Once you get in the habit of finding smart ass comment for every situation, it's really, really hard to stop. It wasn't such a big deal as a plain old dev, but I'm managing other devs now and it's too easy to be an accidental asshole. It would have been much easier if I never started. Now I've just got to try and watch my mouth and break the habit.
