I mean, shouldn’t they? It’s a highly competitive field. I’m not sure how you’d succeed without a healthy ego, and once you’ve reached the pinnacle it doesn’t seem outrageous to indulge it somewhat.
- AlbertCory 4y agoWell, yeah, but as Sweetness (Walter Payton) himself said: “When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you.”
- bryanrasmussen 4y agowell, aphorism only goes so far in describing reality effectively instead of pithily. So two notes: if everyone is always telling you how great you are you would probably still be full of yourself. if you are great at something that means you are good at it, perhaps the great also tell everyone how good they are, although in my experience they just let you know they know it without being so gauche as to have to mention it all the time.

- version_five 4y agoSuper ironic, from what I can tell, the GP comment is not having a back and forth debate with you, he's just posting a normal counterpoint, and then you somehow take it personally and post the "someone is wrong on the internet" comic as a retort, when it's literally you that's the guy in the cartoon.
- AlbertCory 4y agoClever. You win the Gymnastics medal for that one. This guy barges into a harmless, humorous back-and-forth about nothing, that doesn't even involve him (or you), with a pedantic "correction" about nothing. And you even manage to use the word "literally." Why not just sit this one out?
