I already don't ;)
Your general attitude just strikes me as someone in their first year or two of college.
Or does it?
You should consider that (as I've often stated), I behave completely differently in real life, when dealing with peers, or elders, than on internet boards (where I, save for rare exceptions, don't think about making friends, and just come to say what I think).
Saying "your argument is stupid" to an anonymous face on the internet, who has anonymity and lack of personal contact to shield THEM from emotional injury as well, when you've come to exchange ideas and say what you think, is simply different from interacting with actual people you have some relationship with, and care about in many more ways than just what they happen to say about something, and how.
(Probably with the exception of some family members, with whom I tend to argue about stuff rather often, and none of it affects the relationship in any way.)
[I realize that certain real-life scenarios, like public debates, have more in common with internet boards in terms of "the opinion mattering more than the person", while certain kinds of boards, like self-help communities, are more like careful real-life situations - but those aren't milieus I happen to deal in.]
So the real irony is, while you're claiming to "recognize" my attitude and behavior from your RL experiences with college freshmen, you probably wouldn't recognize me as one if you met me in real life ;)
Especially drunk.
From my side of the fence, when I'm looking at the HAIR-RAISING stupidity (inability to make a case while insisting that I'm the stupid one), immaturity (intruding with a "oh he's always right you know" in some other topic; not admitting your mistakes) and dishonesty (you know what I'm talking about, so don't bloody pretend you don't :P) in your posts whenever we lock horns over something stupid, I wouldn't think you're some educated guy capable of writing well-argued research papers, either.
As Pat Condell said about Pascal, "he was a very smart man; but he might as well have been an idiot". (Or an ACTUAL college freshman who meets all the clichés.) Someone should make a giant statue of this quote, and launch it into space for all to see.
Now, no one's gonna contest the unquestionable priority of stupid internet arguments about nothing over scientific papers here, but the point being, you obviously like to keep two sets of books, as well ;)
