That's a problem for all types of Greeks and usually happens when people exist in a bubble, whether that's because they are elitist, antisocial, or have poor social skills, etc.

You make points like this a lot it seems to me.

You, as you present yourself here, never seem particularly deferential to the direct experience of other people or how people explain their situations if it differs from your own interpretation, and yet, you seem to think that some people transcend to universal understanding more than others. How does this work?

Pot, you mean?

I don't think I ever make claims of universal understanding.

No, I meant she was the pot and I was looking for the kettle ... never mind, as you were...

Now I'm confused. How am I the pot?

Don't be passive aggressive.

Chaos! It's not about you! I had an exchange with UGA earlier today and I found the comment she made (thus why I quoted her and put my comment under HER quote) to you ironic based on our prior discourse. I was trying to point out TO HER that what SHE just said to you was like the pot calling the kettle black.

This thread was already past enjoyable, now it's just too much work.

The same way that trying so hard to defend sasquatch's position works.

I don't think anyone is defending his position. He even seems to take if for granted.

It's unclear what your point is.

I guess once your posts to sasquatch were typed you were given the cyber power to keep others from typing to or about the position he was expressing.

Uh, not a bit. But I explained in response to your asking why I offered the bit about his being an active undergraduate member. You asked if I was offering a defense.

I knew he was an active.

It was just clear that you were attempting to calm the waters when there was no attempt at stirring, in the first place.
