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!"

[Poll #1867261]

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!)
