> [@John\_Mace](#): > > 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. oh, wow. So the Doper-dope **John Mace** knows for sure that > [@](#): > > 1. The state of our scientific technology at present is such that discerning differences in temperament in different populations of humans would be impossible. but he isn’t really able to define just what “temperament” is. He leaves it to the OP, huh. Dumb and dumber it goes. Don’t forget to explain just how you plan to define those “populations” for which you cannot find any temperament differences using any technology whatsoever. Because, hey, we can all guess what people fill in on the census form, but it takes a genius like you to introduce a bunch of terms with obscure definitions, make unverifiable claims and then beat up on people calling you a dumbbell for your trouble. ---

Next GQ thread: “Why isn’t there a market for message boards in which all posters are as annoying as me?” Is this an under-served market? Or is, inter-alia, quid-pro-quo and double dutch oven, a secondary niche market developing in which this primary attribute can be considered nominal? Or, alternatively, can this style of, say, in-your-face annoying-ness, rise above the cost benefit level to become a full market? ---

> [@elninost0rm](#): > > Removed. Onboard with this pitting. Wow. Your post changed 180 degrees when I hit reply! I haven’t paid attention to his other threads, but I went back and looked and I did notice that his were all the threads that I had seen the titles of and didn’t bother opening because they looked so stupid. Do we really need another \*\*Jinx \*\*or \*\*Ralph \*\*around here? But that doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the way he posted absolute garbage in the Race thread. I know it’s a topic that everyone thinks he’s an expert at, but it’s hard to fight ignorance when someone is unwilling to learn. ---

> [@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.” I am not sure that the questions are that dumb. The detecting false gold coins had some interesting discussion with it. What is annoying is the hostility he has to straight forward answers. About half the time he calms down and accepts that he has not uncovered an unexploited inefficiency but it sure takes a while, and during that time he is pretty hostile. The paint one is bizarre going over and over the steps of re painting a car. How has he lived so long in America that he hasn’t got an idea of the basics from an auto body commercial on TV is beyond me. ---

The paint one is bizarre going over and over the steps of re painting a car. How has he lived so long in America that he hasn’t got an idea of the basics from an auto body commercial on TV is beyond me. I think it’s more fundamental than that - He seems to have a perverse fascination with wringing the inefficiencies out of industries that he has **absolutely no concept of how they work.** I can see asking a question about the possibility of fixing a particular problem in a business that one had experience with, but Code Grey seems to assume that all business are doing everything wrong, and he’s going to “fix” them. I’ve been tempted to tell him to go put in a few years painting cars, or selling groceries before he posts a question about why an industry does things the way they do. ---

I think the guy lays awake at night trying to think of something he can start yet another stupid thread about. He starts threads mostly to hear himself talk…about things he doesn’t understand. ---

I know it’s a topic that everyone thinks he’s an expert at, but it’s hard to fight ignorance when someone is unwilling to learn. Yeah, I went back and examined GQ briefly after making the post. Needless to say, I edited it quickly. ---

The paint one is bizarre going over and over the steps of re painting a car. How has he lived so long in America that he hasn’t got an idea of the basics from an auto body commercial on TV is beyond me. I don’t watch paint job commercials because I don’t watch TV at all. There is a difference between “straightforward answers” and “sufficiently informative answers”. If I find the answer “paint job is hard because you also need to do grinding” not sufficiently informative, then I am going to ask for clarification about what “grinding” is and what’s hard about it. The same applies to other topics - I want to better understand how things work, not just listen to a soundbite explanation. ---
