He needs to find a tech board to spam with all his questions. ---

I didn’t even realize this was an OP-resurrected semi-zombie at first. I went over to GQ, and thought, “well, maybe not a _dozen_, necessarily, but dayum, those are some dumb questions.” ---

God, yes. Not to mention, I have yet to see a thread in which he passes the Turing test. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > I didn’t even realize this was an OP-resurrected semi-zombie at first. I went over to GQ, and thought, “well, maybe not a _dozen_, necessarily, but dayum, those are some dumb questions.” Interesting how a zombie like this can be picked up without missing a beat. I don’t mind the questions themselves; they’re not always well informed but that’s OK, that’s the purpose of GQ. What annoys me is the abrasive attitude he takes towards anyone who challenges his assumptions. He clearly has an agenda or a bias and is looking to hear answers that he wants. Anyone who answers in a way he doesn’t like is attacked or belittled. I’ve given up trying to answer his OPs, there’s no point engaging him in a discussion. ---

Check out his idiotic posts in the thread about differences in temperament between different racial groups. The guy is making an ass of himself, and putting absolute bullshit out there. ---

> [@code\_grey](#): > > I am waiting for your input on the issue of racial differences in brain structure as detected by fMRI, **Colibri**. With baited breath 😛 Did that cite have any data on differences in “temperament” between Caucasians (their term) and African-Americans? No. So why would anyone be interested in that tidbit of information when it had nothing to do with the topic of the thread? Do you expect people to waste time commenting on your posting of random bits of information sprinkled in with your thin veiled racist comments? You make fighting ignorance a full time job. ---

Anyone who answers in a way he doesn’t like is attacked or belittled. I’ve given up trying to answer his OPs, there’s no point engaging him in a discussion. Yes precisely. The nasty undertone and aggressive ignorance (and hint he’s mining for cockamamie IT projects and so looking for “answers he wants”) are irritating. Many of the questions are not in themselves bad, and even exploration follow-up is not bad, but the package is fundamentally off-putting and in the end, not worth it. (Condoms, I mean really…) ---

I told you to do that in the thread, and you never bothered to. Yeah, so people of different races differ on hormone profiles, age of menarche, brain structure and a few other objectively measurable biological factors that have obvious correlates in the realm of behavior - but their “temperament” must be the same. But of course! To say otherwise would be **racist** :eek: ---

Your feelings will not be hurt over there, with interlocutors in the 2 digit IQ range who already know it all about the world and so have no need for asking further questions. ---

> [@code\_grey](#): > > you still have not defined “temperament”, Mr. genius anti-racist. I told you to do that in the thread, and you never bothered to. It’s up to the OP to define his terms if he needs to. “Temperament” is a well defined English word, though, so I don’t see the issue. And guess what, dipshit. People aren’t go to do something just because to “told” them to. > [@](#): > > Yeah, so people of different races differ on hormone profiles, age of menarche, brain structure and a few other objectively measurable biological factors that have obvious correlates in the realm of behavior - but their “temperament” must be the same.
