I see. What can I say… It might be a socially awkward strategy, perhaps, but a strategy nonetheless. 
Personally, I try to harbour no delusions about someone being wrong on the internet and the prospects of educating them, as hinted above. However, a number of people seem to have the responded to that particular… theory, so I thought it worthwhile to clarify some points. Besides, I still believe that, despite some very ‘loud’ and… peculiar characters present here, the forums might be better than they appear: you know, manure floats on water, while gold would sink, so what you see on the surface might not be all — for example, I’ve encoutered some wonderful participants who are often silent or post in select few topics.
And that, too.
Indeed. Besides, any lout can claim anything without providing any source, proof or such, which actually could even be of interest (if nothing else, to dissect for errors, as OG did in the video linked above) — unlike a random character’s blather on the forum.
