Also what you are saying sounds a lot like, wow crumpy makes some great points, I kind of agree with him, but since he insulted people who kind of insulted him first, I disagree.
Ok mate, up to you.

My point is that you would be better received and your intelligence remotely respected if you'd tone down the "everyone is butt hurt! Derp! Screw your wittle feewings!" rhetoric. You're not JUST talking to Nik, you're talking in a public forum for everyone to read.
If anything, it makes the very idea that you could even keep pace with any scholar in terms of intelligent discourse completely unbelievable. People are who they are. If you're petulant on a hockey board, you're petulant.
Yes, this is just a board of "hockey fans," no, that doesn't speak to the collective intelligence. You're right, you don't need to be likeable, but unless you want to keep yelling at a cloud while people tune you out, you should at least want to be tolerable.
My opinion only of course. Proceed as you wish, I just hate to see opinions as interesting as yours wasted.
