I agree. But pride can be a good thing- where there are actual accomplishments, or skills. Obviously pride in posting on a dying message board would be Very Lame Indeed- but pride in real things? That's awesome.

I think a lot of the confidence and aggression we see on SI is actually the opposite of pride. Many of the most insecure people on SI, the ones with 100's of ignores, the ones who go around looking for trouble, actually have personality issues that are eating away at their 3d lives. My guess is they are terribly insecure people, who think that by presenting a facade of absolutist ugly aggression, people will believe they are in command (instead of the failures they actually are).
