Coolio. I’ve said no such thing. If you look back to the other thread, I’ve said nothing at all about wanting to party on or being a dude, or suchlike. I think it was you who introduced dudery into the convo… > [@If you saw someone smoking pot while driving, would you do anything?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-saw-someone-smoking-pot-while-driving-would-you-do-anything/654214/73): > > You want to stumble through your adulthood baked to the freakin’ gills, hey go for it. Go forth and party on, dudes. You may be making a bit of an unwarranted assumption about me here. Based on what though? All I’ve done in that thread was to question whether there is “any reason to assume that stoned people are - paranoid, distracted, overcompensating, etc.” … A fair enough question. And I’ve agreed that some people are affected that way. I maintain that some are not. How do you go from that to imputing arrogance and contempt to me - if I’m the “Jerry Garcia” you’re referring to: > [@If you saw someone smoking pot while driving, would you do anything?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-saw-someone-smoking-pot-while-driving-would-you-do-anything/654214/76): > > Oh boy, oh boy, he sure showed me !!! Nicely done? What, I should be impressed that Jerry Garcia over there showed a straight up? Arrogance and contempt. Please. Arrogance and contempt? Please. Maybe I shouldn’t have said, “” I can well understand how that could make **a dude** bitter." That might have sounded arrogant or contemptuous, don’t know. But dude, I thought you were comfortable with the word. You use it enough. By the way, I’ve never been a “Self-righteous drug abuser… hurtling down the thruway at 68 mph” Why 68 mph by the way? I don’t promote that people should get stoned and drive, never have recommended it. You wanted a moment of my time. Fair enough, you’ve got it. More than that I’m afraid I can’t spare, as your posts are riddled with assumptions barely worth the time it takes to dismiss them > [@If you saw someone smoking pot while driving, would you do anything?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-saw-someone-smoking-pot-while-driving-would-you-do-anything/654214/76): > > You use it for the same reason I did back when I was immature enough to do such things… in JR High and HS. To get stoned and enjoy the numbing detached out of control high. I get it. I do. Do whatever you want to. Oh I see. I use marijuana for the same reason that immature people do. That would make me…immature I guess? I enjoy “a numbing, detached out of control high”? Sir, you don’t know me, and you don’t know what you’re talking about with regard to me, or my motives, or most of what I’ve had to say.. > [@If you saw someone smoking pot while driving, would you do anything?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-saw-someone-smoking-pot-while-driving-would-you-do-anything/654214/76): > > ETA: You probably don’t realize this since the lines between fantasy and reality become deeply and sometimes permanently blurred … \*\*You want to refer to yourself as The Dude \*\*because it makes you feel some stoned sympatico with the performance delivered by Jeff Bridges. No I don’t. No it doesn’t. Where do you get this stuff, man? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ayatollah-yawuntz-a-moment-of-your-time/654527)._
