  I ask that question each time someone goes postal for a simple correction.

| intellectualism non-stop:

  This is so false it is instead quite telling about your prejudicial nature.

| ridiculous)

  Yes, the best of your ability to judge people.  Indeed.

| What's sad is that his trolling and unprofessionalism drives the whole

  Are you a sock puppet, then?

Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
Act from faith, and failure makes you blame someone and push harder.
