Thread Jerk - One who goes out of the way to try and proactively be a TM. Should be denied TM status on principal and merit.

There is no need, one of the things I attempted to convey to our hero, was something it is often said in Spanish, that is (translated), as:

If you are a parrot, wherever you go or are you will always be green, meaning (in this instance), our hero IS [ALREADY] A JERK, so no matter what he does he will always be a jerk, he can not change that.

In a way, one may responds to an idiot like this, in hope that some brains cells may still be functioning therefore, one hopes that the person in question with the proper use of the brain plunger, his, (or her), brain can be primed into thinking.

Once such attempt fails, well then there is nothing one can do and it is best to leave the person to his fate, at such point the ignore button is the only answer.

You have defined the problem quite accurately.

Do not forget, arguing with an idiot, is quite unproductive, I have said it before, it is like attempting to exchange ideas with a white washed wall, it is extremely boring, and one runs the very possibility of being taken as the idiot by he passers by....

There is no need to be upset by this god of the pimple gnats.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.
