Really though, all the attacks I made were against myself more than you. Whenever I do that its' to remind myself that I shouldn't take my nerdy obsessions too seriously. Since it's so obvious that I myself am exactly like you (remember that talk about maintaining LTTP to exacting specifications?), you should have realized how hilarious I was being then. Don't take it seriously because it's not a real insult. It's a joke insult. Think of it like when Homer insults someone on The Simpsons. Like when he says "Everyone is wrong but me". It's funny like that. You should in fact think of yourself and the world in 3rd person as though it's a comedy show.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
