His complains are _always_ magnifications of Reality, or Reality pushed to the border of plausibility. Or do you take literally when He writes that Bush is a payed lackey of the Saudi Princes?
But when you accuse Him of the things that He, in joke or exageration, said were His flaws, it seems like you are trying to look good in His expenses. Just to mention one example: > So in short, Dr. Brin is suffering from "Golden Age" Meme with > touches of "Elitist Arrogance" meme. > ... not to mention "Contempt for the Masses" [the 1 billion chinese that would join the SINUX plot], etc. _Of course_ He complains that He can't waste 30 hours to learn qbasic; it's the same thing I said about "gimp" a little over an year ago [I was trying to draw something with gimp, and I failed miserably. Then my then-9-y-o daughter was visiting my work, and she succeeded in using gimp. I commented with a workmate that "I can't use gimp, a program that even a child can use!". And he replied: "Even a mongoloid child can use it!". I leave as an exercise what was my reply] > I'm sure an > intelligent person can see the Irony in that. > Yes, and you seem to miss it in your eagerness to point our His inconsistencies!
