[QUOTE=Chefguy] An interesting feature of this board is that one can place another person on an “ignore” list. After five years, I believe I’ve finally found someone worthy: an honest to god cyberspace psychopath. Buh-bye, dickbreath. [/QUOTE] Awe… Don’t go away all butt hurt like that. We can still be pals, why can’t you just say what’s on your mind princess? Forgive and forget. Just spit it out. I’m just a guy just like you. Well maybe I’m a little worse for wear. Ugly as hell too. Pass two mirrors every day, my wifes idea not mine. Would you like to call me a liar? I won’t get upset. I’ve been called things in my life that have made me sob like a little girl. I’m sure what you have for me won’t be so bad. ---

[QUOTE=Omegaman] I knew this thread would peter out as smart-ass comments are only appropriate when attached to someone elses comments for the most part. [/QUOTE] Hehe! You said “peter” and “ass” in the same sentence. ---

There are also a lot of “Know-it-alls” on this site as well. Which is worse than _any kind_ of ass. 🙂 ---

There’s a fine line between being a critical thinker–having a willingness to seek out the facts, and being a know-it-all. I think some people with a great deal of intellectual curiousity get labeled as know-it-alls unfairly. That’s not to say that some of them aren’t pretty damn smug about it! ---

[/QUOTE] The main difference is the smugness. I know this as a fact – don’t question it. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/smart-asses-unite/449262.md?page=4)
