Ok, so do you act like an asshole all the time or do you 'switch' it on when the person you are speaking to (or someone who has responded to you) triggers one of your tripwires? The problem with this approach is that I have no idea how you will respond, are you going to go all controlled-rage on me or give a reasoned reply. I get what you are doing (I think), I'm all about efficiency myself in fact, but don't you run the risk of making your Internet a little darker and meaner by playing the dick card so often?it's not your fault you're an asshole. Me? I do it on purpose to save us both time.
the cold, calculated, reasoned decision - that it's more efficient to be a dick than to not be a dick
