It would not make any difference. Upon review of some of the other discussions in this and other categories, it is apparent that the forum circle jerk oligarchy that I have identified does exist, and they are unable to maintain the serious decorum to discuss anything to a conclusion or anything other than a snark fest.

People behave differently depending on how they are treated.  If you insult people, even the most intelligent might just insult you back.

You have jumped to all sorts of conclusions about people you don't know.  Such an assumption is even embedded in the title of this discussion.

This kind of know-it-all attitude is what has immediately estranged forum members.  You can tell by their responses.

The behavior you have displayed is not uncommon on the internet.  Your determination to feel superior blocks you from relating to others in a healthy fashion.

Some people know some things, others know others. No one knows everything. That's why we try to share. The behavior you and others display disrupts that.

It's part of the bit. He's been furiously fishing for a negative reaction, which isn't happening. It's clearly frustrating him.

You contribute a lot to the Forum. Because of that, I'm recommending that your pay start at twice mine.

I'd change that to be "Don't let the door hit you where evolution split you."
