"He called himself an arrogant bastard..."

This is a thread at the Nucleus forum. It started innocently enough, but then we have the ever authoritive 'vj' who thinks nobody should have an opinion to his arguments. I'm not going to ask you to read the whole thing if you don't want to, and it will get technical at one point. However, I would like to point to the posts beginning on page three. Notice that while others agreed with 'vj' he was quite fine in arguing his point and stating how I was being disrespectful in my not agreeing. However, the minute one person says what I'd been trying to say, he seems to go for a more personal insulting reply.

So the poll for today, was I wrong, or is he just being a coward?

Sorry, spammers forced my hand. Comments reviewed before being published.

You were definitely not wrong.

I use mad amounts of plugins for both Coranto and Nucleus, and this guy reminds me of some of the people that they get over at the coranto forums (newbies who think that we should all change our ways and bow down to their ideas, or use our time to cater to thier needs, without regard to life outside of the program itself.)

I had a lot of counters for his "rules." And then I saw that you'd posted them. Tore them to pieces, actually.

My old debate coach would have been saddened by this guy. Bald statements, gerenalizations, no research, getting personal, circular...

Why would anybody voluntarily call himself an arrogant bastard?

What is this plugin you've written? Did you post it? Did I miss it? What's it do?

I read it all, and even amidst the techie lingo that I did not understand (because I have yet to take a programming course and I only use Nucleus at BT), your arguements made a helluva lot more sense. To me, it sounded like he was BS-ing most of his posts, trying to sound important.

In my personal opinion (and you may disagree on this), he's a crumb, a coward, and a cretin, and you have nothing to worry about. ^__^
