Oh, shove it. I suspect I've met and dealt with far, far more people from this board in the real world than you have. They've all been very nice, and I'd like to think I've been nice to them, too.opusthepenguin wrote:It's interesting that Arthur, who isn't arrogant and abrasive, is seen that way by some.

Lot of these folks aren't very good. Arthur is clearly a dominant player, but there's also plenty of Lach trash still on the board, and these yo-yos aren't picking up any of it.
I don't feel sorry for people who get slaughtered. It's an act of ego to appear on Jeopardy. Either you want to make money, or be seen on TV, or you think you're smart and you want that validation. Or maybe you want to have some side career you want to promote.
So these folks aren't getting what they expected, but it's also not unfair what has happened to them.
I thought you were smart enough to appreciate that there are real differences in how people appear online and how they might actually be.
