Nah. He'll Still be annoying.

Doesn't matter, even, if he's right. He'll still be annoying. And his
annoyance factor will still prevent his message from being heard and
understood.

He is his own worst enemy. He is smart, well documented, usually
salient, and insulting.

Have i ever learned anything from him? Yep. Do I mostly ignore his
posts? Yep. For the same reason I tune out people who yell at me on
street corners. They may have a valid point of view. It is their
presentation that off-puts.

Yukka will never be nominated for Ambassador of Anything.

Oh, well, maybe "Ambassador to "Insultingland."

And the rest of the world will take as much heed of his remarks as
Ambassador to that mythical land as anything else.

Should we? No, probably not. We probably ought to attempt to sift
through all of his diatribes and insults and attempt to glean sense and
insight from them. But, you know? Who wants to? Who wants to take the
time? And effort? Especially when, if you wander around a bit, you can
find equally good answers offered up with less vitriol.

So. Hey, Yukka. Knock your socks off (an American expression) and
enjoy. Just be aware that your attitude guarantees that a large
percentage of readers are skipping over your posts simply because they
have your name on them.

Another American expression which, I'm pretty sure, has many similar
translations: You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Oh. Wait. My bad. Sorry. I forgot that you don't really care about
conversation and exchange of ideas. You just want to hear yourself
postulate and utter snippets of truisms.

Enjoy your status as an academic. Be safe in your world of regulations
and standards. Grin and enjoy.

The rest of us will just have slog on without you and your pedantic
approach to life.

Another American expression: "You dick-head."

Sigh. I am so sorry I succumbed to that urge. That was not nice. Oooo!
How Jukka-like! Ok! I'm in the groove!

Geez. And now I'm sorry I bothered to join in on this. Oh well. It
happened to hit at a time when I had the time and the pain meds are
kicking in.

He's still possessed of a very bad strategy. Meaning: He's still an
asshole.
