You could be the smartest guy on the internet and I still would't listen to you.

That's fine, you don't have to listen to me. You've acknowledged that my point is correct, and that you're more worried about how you feel I said something, than the substance of what I said.

Given that you asked a technical question, I'll take "correct" over "warm and fuzzy", Every Fucking Time.

People literally pay me for advice and some then choose to ignore it, why would I care that you choose to ignore it when I offer it for free?

People like you make the industry worse for everyone.

No, people like me make people like you feel worse, because I follow this crazy idea that words have specific meaning.

It's people who shy away from telling someone they're wrong, or that their idea is fucking awful, that make the industry worse.

You can tell people they're wrong without being a douche about it. That's all I'm saying.

There was no 'douche'-ness intended in the original comment.

If you've misread my text as having some non-existent emotion or tone, I'm sorry but I can't help that.
