Generals gather in their masses

Two completely unrelated polls:

[Poll #1867260]

Please be honest. This is the difference between "oh, really?" and "ha, Jamie, see! I was right, I was right!"

by telling me I'd ordered the wrong thing and was an idiot.

Well, that's unhelpful of him.

The other option is that so long as you each got food that you thought was the best, I'm sure you get to each be happy that you were right; (or if both of you disliked your selection, you could switch). Oh, no, wait, I've done it wrong again, haven't I? ;-)

Yes, being rational and considered and holding balanced opinions on the internet pretty much is doing it wrong :)

Well, that's unhelpful of him.

He is, however, in general a pleasant and sensible sort of chap so I'm choosing to believe he was joking rather than actually thinking I was an idiot.

So you can't tell us which is right yet so we can come to your aid?

That sounds very rational and considered and holding a balanced opinion. Where's the fun in that? I refer you to your other comment being rational and considered and holding balanced opinions on the internet pretty much is doing it wrong .

I've deliberately not filled in my choice on that poll to avoid biasing people :)

I refer you to your other comment

The problem is that people who arbitrarily insist that their opinions are better/more correct than yours are (as a rule) dreadful. Unless they're doing it on purpose, over something completely unimportant, in which case it can be quite funny. I just wanted it to be clear (which it isn't always on the t'interweb) that this was a latter kind rather than someone being a total dick!

(And he was wrong, anyway!)
