"get over yourselves. you're elitists, [snip]"

Yeah, how dare you guys get a decent education, and post in rational, coherent, and grammatically proper sentences? You should be ashamed of yourselves!

And I should probably go shoot myself for daring to question the wisdom of someone who thinks that 0.999... does, AND does not, equal "1," and who believes that sometimes mathematics is subjective.

As atonement for my sins, I will have to contact my alma mater, and ask them to rescind my Mathematics degree. Clearly, I am too "elitist" to deserve it. Time to put on a hair shirt and flagellate myself. "Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa......"

How did that troll get the thread moved to the backroom? He's probably been pounding it continuously since it happened. Yeah, how dare you guys get a decent education, and post in rational, coherent, and grammatically proper sentences? im sorry, when did talking about someone on the sidelines become the same as discussing a topic? where i come from, thats called "mud slinging" and has little or nothing to do with the topic at hand. when you attack a person, you stop figuring out a persons ideas. if the persons ideas are threatening to you, this isnt an issue. but im a harmless blogger, just like you. when does it become "rational" to mock someone instead of talk to them and teach them things? it fills the air with the stench of "elitism"

An elitist is anyone smarter, richer, or more attractive than you.
