Little touchy there.

Poke. Poke

Oops, did I pop an ego?

Even better, I inflated the ego years ago to be able to pop it now. As you said, you changed because of me.

You decided to attack. You are master of flames. Or maybe wet matches. And now you are sad.

So I conflated smartest guy in the world with the guy who apparently knows everything. Like there's a difference?

Your marginal ability to identify definitions of individual words and overreact and delve into deep detail on the individual word betrays your inability to understand them in context. You obviously don't know what you're talking about but boy do you know what those individual words mean.

Okay, this is the final edit. I'll leave it alone. I'll walk away.

You "apparently" know everything to yourself. I told you to put that back in because you were peacock strutting. It would be funny to see it there in the future. You are mostly presentation and very little actual content. And of course you had no idea what I was really saying. Even when you went back and reread it. You did what I told you to do. And I smiled a little and shook my head. It was kind of sad.

I know when I think I'm the smartest guy in the room. I know in this room when considering everyone else who could be in it, I'm not. Neither are you.

But I didn't set the bar so high that I'm expected to at least pretend to know everything. You've done that to yourself.

Also, the word apparent implies that you don't know everything. Not even close. But you're trying to con people into thinking you do. See, lots of subtleties in that that one line, and there's no way your ego would allow them to be self-inflicted.

You're obviously not Marilyn von whatever. But for someone who apparently knows everything you get corrected often enough.

Obviously it's a huge deal to you because it's your identity.

Pop

Of course, you will catch some trivial difference and expound on it. Enormously. That's okay. You're typically fun to read. Even when you think you're scoring points.

Points?

Yes, the internet runs on egoboo. Some of us recognize it.

One of us is relaxed and smiling while writing. The other seems a bit tense.

Hmmm. You are definitely a multilingual language master. At least on a word by word basis. Were you raised bilingual or did you pick up second languages after adolescence? If so, you have a major jump up compared to most of the population in brain power. You are obviously highly educated. World events you're pretty good on. But I don't seem to ever recall you getting into any hardcore tech stuff. Maybe it's just my old poor memory. You may apparently know everything because you can Google and read and quickly pick up stuff in multiple languages. Just like millions of other people. This is nothing special. But what have you actually done?

Oh, and concerning previous posts concerning toying with an opponent for the onlookers and the opponent just being collateral damage. Nope. This isn't a discussion about an event that someone disagrees on. This is a direct attack on identity. Your signature. Oh flame Master, feel free to move this to flames.

But tell me one more thing before we do. If we do. You don't have any history of self-harm, do you?

Concerning the language master statement. You don't really get American English idioms. You read them and you try to figure for context and then you look it up and then you laugh at the Americans. Each of the words in the idiom has synonyms and you have to string them together and figure out which of the correct synonyms to string together and then finally what it all means in context. You have no clue. Then you Google it. You get different definitions, most of them overlapping. But you don't really get it. You don't feel it and you won't use it correctly. You're probably that way in many languages.

You must have a hell of a case of imposter syndrome.

You have no clue how to use the word fuck in American English because it's so common in your language in a different context. It's fun to watch because it's so obvious.

Don't bother telling me you're not trying for American English. You are writing for impact. And your audience is mostly American English.

Just like the way British use cunt and we don't. Their type of dramatic over usage as compared to over here sets them apart. We immediately discount their usage of it and trivialize it because of that. In your case, your usage style removes all impact.

Anytime I see fuck in a headline or multiple strung together in a single post I double-check to see that it's you writing it. And then I go: Oh it's just you. You get a pass on the judgment. "Just" you. We grant that you are writing on the level of a 3-year-old who's just discovered the fuckety-fucks. Please look at me. I'm dying to be looked at. I can say fuck like the big boys.

Hey, American English onlookers: judgment please. Am I wrong?

Anyone who sees that knows you're basically at the language level of our hillbilly moron.

Happy to give further advice to help in your cultural understanding and language usage.

Oh, and yesterday my blood pressure was too low. My new meds overshot. I was running at 85 over 49. I was tired and groggy and on low brain pressure. I can feel when I'm stupid at that moment. Today it's much better. Ramping up nicely. Shall I go on?

I'd bet a few bucks that you are often multilingual in a professional context.

I wonder how many times you've embarrassed yourself without knowing it?

This is like bubble wrap. Pop. Pop.

I love bubble wrap.

You agreed with me. You responded harshly to static when he bailed. I was very gentle in that conversation compared to what it could have been.

"This is cheating. You already said they have an advantage, just not very much. You are supporting the cheaters."

And that was enough for me to apologize.

Which then turned into "you failed" from you.

Okay, what kind of bad day were you having that caused you to attack me for that?
