Frustratingly Stupid
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Yes, I've already discussed "Mutual Stupidity" but now it's time
|
|
for something a little different, in the "Lord Humongous 'Stupidity' Series":
|
|
Frustratingly Stupid people.
|
|
|
|
Have you ever met someone who was frustratingly stupid? I have.
|
|
Before I go on, let me define my idea of what "stupid" means in the context
|
|
of "Frustratingly Stupid". This might apply elsewhere, but "stupid" can
|
|
have other meanings, say in the context of "mutual stupidty" it can mean
|
|
something much more different. To enforce the definition I must also use
|
|
my definition of ignorance.
|
|
|
|
ignorance(n): lack of knowledge
|
|
stupidity(n): chosen lack of knowledge; ignorance by choice,
|
|
blind acceptance of ignorance; no wish to end
|
|
ignorance
|
|
|
|
There you go. Now, let's get on with it. Have you ever met someone that
|
|
was so dense, so unexplainably, insanely STUPID that it pissed you off?
|
|
I'm not gonna go around masquerading as "The Supreme Genius of the World",
|
|
but to keep myself out of a sentence with the word "stupid" in it, I follow
|
|
these guidelines:
|
|
|
|
o When I see something, a question for example, and know the answer,
|
|
I try to answer it.
|
|
o When something is wrong, or at least in my opinion, or is just
|
|
blantantly unfounded, I will correct it if possible.
|
|
o If I can't answer something, I will shut the fuck up, and
|
|
wait till someone else answers it. Then, if they are correct,
|
|
alright, NEW knowledge, and I didn't have to make a fool out of
|
|
my self by posting "Well I know that I think lemme see uhh...".
|
|
|
|
Asking questions is not stupid. Asking a question is instead, an opposite
|
|
of "stupidity". Instead of not learning something and pretending you know
|
|
all about it, you actually go out and say "Can someone grant me some knowledge
|
|
in this field, as it would be most appreciated, and could lead to the
|
|
giving of knowledge to other people!"
|
|
|
|
But you'll always have someone who knows little, or behaves in a
|
|
silly manner, and "speaks"[BTW: all references to the word "speak"
|
|
and all communication related words in this article are directly based on
|
|
Message Posting and BBSing] just for the sake of "speaking". For example:
|
|
|
|
Q: "Can anyone tell me how to take a substring from a string in Pascal?"
|
|
A: "Uhh, Pascal is stupid. Use asm or C."
|
|
|
|
This is generally "fluff". Although they won't directly say it,
|
|
they are trying to point out that they are more qualified, and that their
|
|
virtually useless answer, is in fact, a useful answer. Wrong.
|
|
|
|
When I moved back to 303 a year ago or so, I started calling a few
|
|
BBS's again, and a few new ones. One of the new ones was more of a leech
|
|
board, as I had just gotten access to a faster computer[it wasn't mine, but
|
|
I still had access:)] and was in the "giddy" mode where you wanna try all
|
|
that stuff your 386/16 couldn't do. I'll get to some point, I promise:)
|
|
|
|
I generally do a message newscan first thing when I log on to a BBS,
|
|
and in it, I saw quite a few messages that I could rebutt against using my
|
|
previously mentioned set of rules[the information used was incorrect,
|
|
unfounded, and just plain laughable]. This led to a great debate over BBS
|
|
softwares[rather trivial, but some things can't be let go!#@], and sadly,
|
|
when some people feel they lose a debate, they feel cornered and can often
|
|
do stupid things. We'll refer to the first person as Exhibit A and the
|
|
second as Exhibit B....
|
|
|
|
Exhibit B is such a clever guy; my handle is "Lord Humongous", of
|
|
course, and he addresses all messages to me as "Lord Asshole", "Lord Fag",
|
|
etc, etc. Reading a few of these incorrectly addressed messages, I replied,
|
|
quoting his header instead of the message body[which was even worse]:
|
|
|
|
"What are you, 12? Try putting some thought into your posts, and
|
|
I just might respect you more."
|
|
|
|
So when I called a couple days later, leaving some time for him to
|
|
call and reply, the BBS software war was still waging, I clarified some more
|
|
points, shot down an argument, and found this:
|
|
|
|
[perfect quote]
|
|
|
|
I'm 16...I wouldn't mind meeting you, and kicking the shit outta you either.
|
|
Ask #EXHIBIT A#. I'm strong.
|
|
|
|
[end perfect quote]
|
|
|
|
[Now, I don't really give a fuck about his age. I'm 16 too. Let's go on..]
|
|
|
|
Well, after belittling him once more, I gave up on him. The most
|
|
hilarious ending to a flame war is "I'll kick your ass". In fact, it's
|
|
such an old-school remark that I'm sure a F.U.C.K. writer has already
|
|
pointed it out.
|
|
|
|
Personally I have never really pointed out my physical characteristics
|
|
to anyone without their asking, but:
|
|
|
|
a)I never intend on confronting him
|
|
b)If he confronted me I'd probably put up a fight if he demanded one,
|
|
consisting of a few nerve endings being poked and kicked
|
|
|
|
"(b)" will never happen. I find physical violence but useless, but
|
|
make a point to know as much about it as possible to control it. Let's
|
|
continue:
|
|
|
|
a)Threatening to fight someone for something you see on a BBS
|
|
is stupid-in both "silly" and in that it implies that you refuse
|
|
to accept something without needing to enforce your opinion through
|
|
force
|
|
b)You don't need much more than knowledge of the anatomy to destroy
|
|
someone, no matter what your physical prowess may be. Those who
|
|
seek violence are generally those who don't know how to use it, nor
|
|
how to control it, and at the hands of a benevolent but aware person,
|
|
can be crushed with little effort
|
|
|
|
I suddenly recall a F.U.C.K. on this, so I will drop the "kick your
|
|
ass thing" and close this up:
|
|
|
|
Be ready and willing to accept knowledge. Pretending something
|
|
doesn't exist is crazy. When you choose to be ignorant, you are saying that
|
|
what you know is what is. When you resolve to violence for lack of
|
|
intellect, you are no more respectable than two stags goring the fuck
|
|
out of each other for a 30 second screw with the local in-heat doe.
|
|
|
|
When a person is so stupid that it frustrates you, nothing more
|
|
can be done. All that one can do is give up, and hope that they step
|
|
in front of a fucking bus and rid the world of their wasteful existence.
|
|
I'm sure the fungus and bacteria that breed in their decomposing carcass
|
|
will be of more contribution to the world.
