Coleoid said: Schwartz, do you sometimes give the less-godly a break, or do you always present them with an insult which gives them no more useful knowledge than they began with? Where do you get your kicks from being an expert? Power-trip or education?
It's amazing how far I fall when you topple the pedestal you put me on.

Now re-read what I wrote from the perspective of me just being an ordinary guy, puzzled why someone said something "works". Like for what values did he test it? And read his response, which didn't show any insult in my statement at all.

Man, I sure wish people would treat me like a human being. Really. I ask questions because I'm curious, not because I'm trying to be condescending.
