Seriously?


So this company that has failed on so many levels is going to produce these. This is the dumbest thing ever. You know how you make fun of the people who ride segways?

What the hell is the purpose of using a word that a large part of your audience doesnt understand?
Clearly it is to make them feel inferior, and that is something a pretentious douchebag would do~

Right because the purpose of his post was to educate the rest of us? Fuck off.

Oh, and if it actually was, thats beyond arrogance heh~

it may not have been the purpose of his post, but he used a word that you didn't know and you made fun of him for it.

Idiocracy.

Yes, exactly I called him out for using a word for the primary purpose of making other people feel stupid, and himself seem more intelligent. Grammar spelling and vocabulary are some of the most pathetic ways of trying to assert your own intelligence, especially on the internet where no periods abbreviations and butchered acronyms are widely accepted. How about you make your case using logic instead of shit you picked up from your SAT vocab tests or the latest novel you had to read for your english class~

i would have a real discussion with you but i'm afraid i might use a word that you don't want to have to learn. i would hate to inadvertently expand your vocabulary in some way. if we were not on the internet i'm sure we could communicate in some form of grunts and growls instead.

yes, well, you'll need to try harder than this to convince me that having an extensive vocabulary is a bad thing. either way, i'm done "trolling."

i highly doubt he was flaunting it. i think perhaps he was just using his vocabulary. i mean, what's the point in having an extensive vocabulary if you're not allowed to use it?

i think you guys made an over-the-top attempt at an insult and it really isn't working out for you. you know the stereotypical dumbass jock that makes fun of the kid who's going to pass his classes, simply for being intelligent? the one everyone laughs at in the movies because he thinks ignorance is a useful trait? well, hopefully you can discern who i'm relating that guy to.

Just wondering, but do you not have the ability to use regular punctuation or do you just choose not? If it's the latter then you're pathetic attempt to get attention and make up for your lack of real friends is not amusing.

What exactly was he doing then using a word that so many people in his audience did not understand? You say he was just using it because he could, but that serves no purpose, that would mean he used a word for the sake of using a word with no intention of communicating an idea.

Then comes more trolling, or I guess as you stated you werent trolling, but are apparently just a complete moron. Dont pretend to know anything about me, am I not a jock in any way, yet you pull shit out of your ass to insult my intelligence after I handed your ass to you in an internet. After all, lets not forget who resorted to motivational posters and subject changes. Neither me nor Drew ever stated it was bad for him to have an extensive vocabulary, but it was rather pretentious of him to use certain words for the sake of seeming intelligent, yet you try to make it look like I was posting "HAHA YOU ARE SMART, GO GET MORE GOOD GRADES AND KNOW BIG WORDS IDIOT"~

drew, of what you've said so far i could care less. you're still cool in my book.
but Scott~y here is consistent, and i'm as long as he's going to continue trying to prove that nescient is a word that should not be used, i'm going to continue trying to prove that he's just an asshole who doesn't have the time to look it up.

You have to be kidding me, can you read? I never said nescient shouldnt be used, I said that in this context nescient was poor choice of words due to the audience and that it made him sound very arrogant. Now that you finally understand my original contention, I suggest that you go back and re-read all of my previous posts so you can actually respond with something thought-provoking~

I dont know why everyone gets so hung up on this lol, its kind of like a signature for me. I do it on every forum, and have for years, its purely habitual. The only purpose is for it to be my own mark I suppose. End point is, that it doesnt matter lol~

Did anyone bother to think it's a fucking word and you're arguing over the assumption that I was trying to be an asshole and by doing so have shown us all what a true asshole is? I mean was it really necessary to start all this?

Arguments are fun. I start them all the time, over anything, because they are an excellent way to test your knowledge and logic.
I thought you were being an idiot, called you out, and I wasnt the only one. In the end, it was much more about the use of upper level vocabulary in poor context, and you were just an example. Im sorry you think im an asshole because I called you out, but youll live on somehow~
