Allow me to be blunt, since it's gone over your head again. You have no idea |
| 25 |
what you're talking about. None of your "technical arguments" are |
| 26 |
technical. Your attempts to be the "better person" by offering up helpful |
| 27 |
advice about how to have a technical discussion come off as egotistic and |
| 28 |
naive, as there was a technical discussion happening long before you started |
| 29 |
interjecting ridiculous hand-wavy assertions such as "overlays are |
| 30 |
unsupported" and "cache is almost always up-to-date", and highly |
| 31 |
hypocritical, as you manage to break most of the rules you lay out /later in |
| 32 |
the very same post/. You are being played with, Mr. Kitten, and statements |
| 33 |
such as you quoted above are balls of yarn tossed your way to see how long it |
| 34 |
takes you to pounce. I'm tired of playing, as I'm sure you are. So please, |
| 35 |
let's be quiet now, and let the big people talk. |
