There are many acceptable ways to demonstrate how smart you are. Almost every one of these ways involve actually being as smart as you believe you are. :-) Demonstrating one's "smartness" with authority in a venue where you are totally unqualified to speak with authority is I believe the issue Bertie is discussing here....not to mention the simple fact that what this person posts with authority is incorrect most of the time. -- Dudley Henriques |

Why Airplanes Fly - Voids Above A Planar Sheet
Anthony could be a troll, but I doubt it. He's really just looking to
show how smart he is, You say that like it's a bad thing or something! It is not a bad thing if you have an iota worth of a brain. Problem is that he is totally socially inept, has given enough of an insight to his personalities that he is probably clinically definable with a couple different psychological disorders, and tries to act like he is smart in areas of knowledge that he is considerably unfamiliar with. I could start bringing up some of the top ten stupid questions and statements he has made, but that is unnecessary to those that have even slightly paid attention to his posts. That makes him a dumb ass, in my book. One that needs outside help, no doubt. If you don't know something, you should ask questions, find the answers on your own that you can find, and learn from others that are knowledgeable in the area you are seeking answers. Instead, he argues with everything, and declares the experts with the answers as fallible, and explains why what he says is correct, even though it is exactly opposite of the accepted knowledge. I _will_ change my designation of him, from now on, to an internet k00k, based on classification advice given by the professional troll, Bertie. What he said made sense to me. He still needs to be ignored, and encouraged to practice his "k00kedness" elsewhere, though. (IMHO) -- Jim in NC |

He still needs to be ignored, and encouraged to practice his "k00kedness" elsewhere, though. (IMHO) Yeah, ignoring him can work, but that never happens. Believe me. If you don't like messign with him, then just ignore him yourself. I can tell you this for free, though. If I was trolling this whole group, I'd also be provoking you and anyone else who was continuously crying about the presence of a troll. Anyone emotive is a godsend to a troll. Anyone emotive about trolling even more so. A troll can wreak havoc by provoking these sorts of personalities. This, of course, brings more people into the fray and pretty soon it;s reached critical mass with the topic of the group gone forever and the group only exising as a giant rat hill with the occupants eventaully consuming each other. I like to think I could have shown Osama Bin Laden a thing or two, (strictly on a professional troll level, ignoring politics, of course) but I doubt it. Anthony hasn't got a hope in hell and he doesn't even know it. The best thing about a k00k like him is you can tell him exactly what your game is and it makes no difference one way or another to them. Bertie |
