GP is pretty much a scold and a bit priggish - he doesn't understand that he lacks the moral or intellectual authority to mold the behavior of others. My personal opinion for why he is so pollyanna-ish is he's virtue signaling hoping to become a mod
Kut suffers from a similar delusion; the attempts to play Socrates don't countenance that, for me at least, he lacks the moral and intellectual standing for me to accept him as a teacher (of anything)
Thanks. Don't kid yourself, I'm a dickhead. [<=== This is the important take-away] Ok, gloves off
Jetta and T.Lex mean well but really believe we all have better angels (correctly) just waiting to come to the fore (uhhh, not so much). I can't ever pin them down but my sense is they are "world-weary" in the classic meaning of the term
Thanks for the rep. You, sir, are on a roll in that thread . Just as signposts for future achievement, if you ask enough uncomfortable questions, you get relegated to the 'lol' club where he'll only answer a post with lol. If you fail to learn your lesson, then you pretty much get ignored; but it's not true ignore - he still reads the posts and sometimes breaks training and replies
