@nixCraft teachable moments from on the job training. Look at them as another job/server. You are tweaking some basic settings:)

@nixCraft THIS! I don't understand why you chose to be rude instead of being nice to people. Bro, you only have extensive knowledge about computers and stuff...

@nixCraft
It does allow you to invoke the you can ask each question once rule. Third time, same question requires rudeness as part of the response.

@nixCraft Ah, but how else will they exercise their perceived superiority? Clearly their life is full of joy and fulfilment, they feel the need to assault others with their presence.

Had a supervisor with this character "trait". In 3 years I learned *nothing* from him directly, other than to google many pages deep before invoking. Excellent professional relationships with all other colleagues (who nodded knowingly, when stories began trading).
