T W A U ......Why Do Some Get So Nasty And Angry?

[ToraToraTora]

...it's only meant to be a giggle at a silly answer.

[Canary42]

Ironically this is the one area where I agree with you entirely TTT. 

[johnny.5]

perhaps you need to post it in chatterbank

[douglas9401]

It could go back to being a giggle if the bluster was dialled back.

[bednobs]

i dunno ttt why DO you get so nasty and angry in those posts? only you can answer that

[ToraToraTora]

I never do I try to explain the intent.

[davebro3]

why do you get so ratty about it if it's only a giggle?

[ToraToraTora]

I don't, others do, I just try to explain.

[bednobs]

no, you really do ...

[ToraToraTora]

...no I really don't I just try to explain. Examples then if you think that.

[THECORBYLOON]

Are the big boys picking on you again?

[TwoShortPlanks]

I think intellectual snobbery is a most unpleasant trait. 

[Mozz71]

A lot of it is your pig-headed arrogance in accepting anyone else's mindset. If someone, often if many, try and explain why they can understand how a wrong answer has been made, you start harping on about your "superpower", which is fundamentally you saying whoever disagrees with you is thick.

 

Maybe Tora, just maybe, you're wrong sometimes.

Is your realm name Sheldon by any chance?

[1ozzy]

Because some people have had enough of your high and mighty attitude.

Oh, some people aren't as intelligent as me, guess I'll just belittle them 😏😒🤔.

If you were half as clever as you think you are you would realise what a condescending *** you actually are!!!

mozz: "....you start harping on about your "superpower", which is fundamentally you saying whoever disagrees with you is thick." - No I am saying that rather than "get it" and join in they pretend to be thick to make some sort of contrarian point. I am certain that with most of the TWAU posts it is obvious what is meant, no one can really be that thick. I therefore conclude that the contrarian instinct overrides all else in a lot of people.

07:14 gawd elp us Dame Edna has stirred!

[douglas9401]

Maybe you're just too good for this place and would be happier elswhere in a more cerebral environment.

[Smowball]

Am going to regret asking, but what is TWAU? ( off to hide!)

[Neveracrossword]

Smowball, it stands for They Walk Amongst Us...
